The First Round of RTTT Blackmail Recipients

have been announced, to the horror of teachers in those states: They are Delaware and Tennessee.

A source says the U.S. Department of Education has picked Delaware and Tennessee for the first round of its ''Race to the Top'' competition.

The states will receive part of a $4.35 billion pot meant to encourage the use of innovative programs to improve student performance and transform struggling schools.

The states were selected from 16 finalists announced earlier this month.
