The Education Wars: Good News for California

as it missed out on the blackmail scheme by Arne Duncan to subvert teacher protections, also known as the Race to the Top:

California was not selected as one of the finalists for a $4.35-billion competitive school-reform grant program, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Officials in the state were notified early Thursday morning.

The 16 finalists are: Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee.


It can apply for the blackmail money in the summer.

Here is the official DOE website with the press release.
