I know I made a snarky comment aboot this being the wrong time for P.E. BAM to appoint another Chicago politician to his administration, but I’m reading a little aboot Arne Duncan, his pick for Education Secretary, and this seems to be another pick we could have easily gotten under a President Elect McCain as well…
Mr. Duncan has overseen the closure of struggling schools, advocated merit pay for better teachers, and adopted a program to use private money to reward children for better grades…He has straddled two competing factions of the education community: the teachers unions, who push for more funding and smaller classes, and a movement that favors accountability and free-market-style incentives and looks to hold schools and teachers more accountable for student performance.
Keep in mind this is coming from an article in today’s Wall Street Journal, hardly known for its left-wing leanings.
Well played, BAM. Well played indeed. You’ve won this round, for now…
UPDATE: Apparently not everybody is going to be crazy aboot him…
UPDATE DEUX: …though other conservatives are pleased.
dumb ass, does he hold his balls and say ssshhhhhhiiiit. god help us.
