Since the creation of the Department of Education in 1978, test scores have been in decline. By what rational should we conclude there will be a better result this time around? As the boss of nation's defense, he has to power to fire the very people he himself said failed in their national security responsibilities-- and yet there has been not one single high level resignation-- how should we square this contradiction in words and policy?

Kinda like Wimbledon....

Since the creation of the Department of Education in 1978, test scores have been in decline.And the states have been setting standards (or not) for all but one of those years. What's your point?
You want a symbolic resignation so you can feel good? What's the point of that?
