I read the TIME or Newsweek (can’t tell them apart now) article on the documentary. The “Inconvenient Truth” guy has two young daughters of his own and admits to sending them to private school. It mentions that Randi Weingarten—head of AFT—the #2 teacher’s union, comes off as an ogre. Overall, it shows that public opinion has turned against the all-powerful NEA and AFT in a big way and that Dem politicians and the Lib media are starting to follow their lead.
School reform was once called “the civil rights issue of the nineties”, well, it’s proving a lot more intractable.
Michelle Rhee unfortunately will be canned by the new mayor of DC....here is hoping she comes to Atlanta to clean up the mess down here.
