The Education Wars: The Usual Suspects

Colin Powell's "foundation," among others, is in the forefront in destroying public education, and Obama is right in there with the privatizers.

It's becoming more and more obvious my initial opinion of Obama being a ringer is coming true:

Mr. Obama is seeking to use federal money as an incentive for local schools to improve their standards. The initiatives his administration is pursuing are similar to those of the Bush administration. At the event on Monday, Mr. Obama recognized Margaret Spellings, a secretary of education under President George W. Bush, who was seated in the front row.

Some fucking "Democrat" he is. He might as well change parties at this point.
