What this is all about is Hillary getting to get the US to ratify the UN CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD, which she helped draft when she was right out of law school. If the US ratifies that treaty, it will forever change the legal status of children, who will then of course have the “right” to go to a gay school, etetcetce....They Arne Duncan to prove to the UN that the US is ready to ratify the convention...

UN CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

I’m guessing that doesn’t included the littlest ones.

From the the Guy who wants to bring on Gay High and has been known to comment “Parents are too involved in the schools”. From the sounds of this he wants to use the communities schools as centers of indoctrination and “learning” for ALL because “families need to learn too”.

Yes, that Arne Duncan. He is a great choice. The Chicago Public Schools had a +50% drop-out rate. What a joke. He should have picked Paul Vallas

Silly;) when producing compliant followers you don't need to teach them how to read, add or think...only good collectivist propaganda. Obama could give a rat's behind if kid's ever learn anything other than how to be a good “Civil servant”.

"I have no idea who Arne Duncan is, but I have little doubt he’ll be able to live up to the utter worthlessness of this position."

Any relation to Isadore Duncan.....?

(Hope it doesn't run in the family.)

Is the new guy a disciple of Bill Ayers. They are both from the same community of political hacks and both in the business of education, or whatever they call it.

I believe I read that Ayers invented the school of no pass/fail and no competition, but I'm not sure of that/

A “Friend of Bill” (Ayers)! He’s a Marxist indoctrinator, not an educator. You know of course he lives in the same neighborhood as Barfsack and Mr. Bill. The worthless Department of Education will now become the sinister Ministry of Approved Thought.

I'm sure Mr. Arne Duncan cried a river and had no idea this was happening under his “care” and “leadership”.

Mayor Daley wants Duncan to stay
by Wendell Hutson

###

Mayor Richard M. Daley announced a new chief of staff this week and said he hopes he does not have to look for a new education boss.

“If Sen. Obama wants to have him, he could have him. But I would not recommend him because I want to keep him right here in Chicago,” Mayor Daley said Thursday at a news conference at Westcott Elementary School, 409 W. 80th St. “We’re doing so well. We’re on this mission. Everybody’s working together. This is a wonderful team they’ve built up.”

Right. And ol’ Arne said the other day when he was in Washington that it was just a “social call” when he was visiting the current Sec. of Education. Yeah, right. They all lie.

“Can anyone out there in Freeper Land tell me one thing the Dept. of Education has done that is worth more than a warm bucket of spit(if you’re having lunch, I apologize)?”

I know I can’t. Can you tell me why it exists in the first place, Constitutionally I mean?

He was hand picked by Daley...

Hand picked? That sounds like something Clinton would do.
