Where will Barack Obama send his two young daughters to school, once he's president? Well, the District of Columbia's mayor, Adrian Fenty, and Robert C. Bobb, president of the D.C. Board of Education, have an idea:
"They write that "no private option offers President-elect Obama a personal reality check on the No Child Left Behind mandates he campaigned to reform. Public school parents see test-prep squeezing out art. They push for quality. As the law's reauthorization looms, what better crash course on its impact than to have kids in the trenches? Now that would be a change any family can believe in."
Wow. So, to heck with the education of these two children. They're to be tools, to be used to push the, ahem, supposed greater good of public education. Nothing tells you more about the immorality and ideological attitudes of public education bureaucrats. The great historian Paul Johnson, in describing Chairman Mao, once wrote that he saw human beings as "furniture", to be moved around at will. Sounds like a good description of these guys. Hopefully Barack Obama will have the guts to say "no" to these two unfeeling educrats.
