Arne Duncan is one of the least offensive members of the Obama administration, but you should never stand with Sharpton. This is how the Huffington Post characterized Duncan:
Duncan, who stands at a lean 6'5", defined himself early in his tenure as a persistent yet compromising free-marketer, part of an education reform movement that stresses the use of data and competition to improve schools -- a departure from traditional Democratic education policy, which unquestionably supported teachers unions. Duncan used RTTT to push states to increase their standards and drive charter school growth. He pushed policies generally unpopular with teachers' unions, such as merit pay and hiring and firing teachers in accordance with their competence. Duncan recently announced that if states adapt his preferred reforms, he will free them from what they consider the burdensome strictures of the No Child Left Behind Act. President Obama will announce what shape these reforms will take on Friday.

HA, he was instrumental in the homosexual agenda in MA, and specifically, the teaching in schools. He is a slime ball with no judgement at all, no just poor judgement. Competition is great, unless you have all the schools mandated to pervert the students.
