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.)
I too have never heard of the guy.
The federal Department of Education should be abolished. All schools should be private. Parents can make this happen by sending their kids to private schools, leaving the K-12 public schools without customers. As a result, they would have to close, and state and local taxes would be cut in half.
The new education boss evidently does not know his basic english. My spouse noted his error in his acceptance speech.
