[Peace-discuss] First Labor and now public Educators get kicked in the teeth for supporting Obama

[LAURIE SOLOMON]

One has to wonder when Labor, public school educators, and progressive
intellectuals are going to get the message and learn that the current
administration is not their friend.  When will they start to stand up for
their own interests and begin to fight back with direct actions rather than
petitions, talk, letter writing, and advertising campaigns.  My guess is
after they have died and their organizations have become history.

* Education Secretary Arne Duncan Pushes to Aggressively Expand Charter
Schools While Admitting Problems *

 

The Obama administration has made opening more charter schools one of its
top priorities in its plans to improve the nation's education system. On
Monday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan spoke at the annual gathering of the
National Alliance for Public Charter Schools in Washington, DC. His address
came on the heels of a new Stanford University report that found that, on
average, students in charter schools were not faring as well as students in
traditional public schools.
