"Every morning as I drive to work, I listen to an awesome progressive show on the radio (AM 620, KPOJ, Portland). Carl and Christine talk about both local and national issues, they support liberal politicians and programs, they’re incredibly intelligent and well-informed, and they’re funny as Hell.

But yesterday, while they were discussing Obama’s budget, Carl said he thinks education will be Obama’s legacy. He thinks Obama’s education program is wonderful, and that Arne Duncan is an outstanding Secretary of Education. Christine agreed.

I almost drove off the road."

1. Went into shock...
thought you were in Portland(OR)instead of the Cheese Place. LOL.

Whatever happened to 'let the teachers teach' and the admin moles take care of all the other problems?

With our poor splintered party, we are pretty much left with:

Leave all children behind
Give the schools to the Charter outfits
Minimum wage for those who want to teach

2. No tenure either
A basic right that our party should be working to instill for every worker instead of taking it away from the few who do have it.

3. Sad But True
We are indeed on our own.
