100,000 teachers nationwide face layoffs

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? Oh right, he was too busy arrogantly putting all of his eggs in one basket for 15 months and not-so-secretly giving oral sex to Big Oil.

It’s just not done.

Checkpoints and a caste system based on ethnicity? Nothing to see here, move along!

Obama Appoints Education Secretary He Didn’t Trust With His Own Kids’ Schooling

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.
