The Ignorant National Media

continues to cheerlead the dismantling of the public education system and thus democracy, not that these "journalists" even know what they are even talking about.

A "Democrat" is pushing this crap, which is just disgraceful.

As the WSWS notes, teachers are held "accountable," but others are not:

The calls for “accountability” from the Obama administration are utter hypocrisy and should be rejected with contempt. Under Obama, there is no “accountability” for those politicians who enacted budget cuts that devastated public education and social programs.

There is no “accountability” for top generals and politicians who authorized and organized war crimes and torture. There is no “accountability” for top CEOs, bankers, investors, and financiers whose reckless drive for profit vastly exacerbated the economic crisis. Meanwhile, public school teachers, many of whom make heroic efforts to lift up the hearts and minds of young people against tremendous obstacles, are to be “held accountable

To say nothing of principals and other school administrators, who are allowed to get away with murder in this demented system.
