I nominate NEWT to replace Arne as Sec of Ed.

[MichiganVote]

3. Washington is hell bent on dismanteling public ed. regardless of

who is in charge

and

the needs of communities
the needs of students
the safety of personnel
the cost of educating kids
the changing nature of k-12 education
the needs of students with disabilities
the lack of progress charter schools have made
the lack of diversity in schools
the lack of progress DC has made to improve education
the lack of progress state legislatures have made to improve education
the poor materials that students are provided
the laws that Congress itself has enacted

and so on and so forth
