Back to reality.
Obama, the education teacher.
…The kind of education a kid gives themselves on the streets or in jail that is apparently.
So much for improving education and making it more accessible to everyone, everywhere. He couldn’t have had something in place by now to avoid travesties like this?

Texas textbook war: ‘Slavery’ or ‘Atlantic triangular trade’? – CSMonitor.com
All I can think of is Palestinian school kids who learn math from text books that use guns as items being counted in the examples.

It’s just not done.
Checkpoints and a caste system based on ethnicity? Nothing to see here, move along!
Not much more I can say beyond the title. The important part is Arne Duncan loves schools that teach to the So What If A Child Is Left Behind tests. Yes, he did close failing schools but the kids from those school inevitably ended up in schools that were just as bad.
