Hillary Clinton: Still on the Hook

Posted: 12/28/2015 9:38 am EST Updated: 12/28/2015 9:59 am EST

On December 22, 2015, Hillary Clinton spoke at a high school in Iowa, and she made a comment that speedily boomeranged on her:

I wouldn't keep any school open that wasn't doing a better-than-average job.
(See Clinton's full speech here.)

I wrote a wry response regarding the mathematical nonsense related to her misspoken goal of all schools' being "above average."

However, even as US News rushed to Clinton's rescue to say that Clinton's comment had been taken out of context, the greater problem is that Clinton tossed off such a comment at all.

School closure is destructive, and Clinton demonstrated her corporate-Democratic lack of awareness of the impact of the continued, privatizing-reform attack on the traditional, community-centered, American public school.

In November 2015, Clinton appeared to be critical of charter schools -- and her husband Bill assisted with the backpedaling as billionaire charter-pushing funders like Eli Broad tightened his grip in his wallet. As the December 17, 2015, Wall Street Journal reports:

Bernie Sanders' Campaign Reaches Voter Data Deal With Democratic National Committee

Source: Huffington Post

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.) presidential campaign will regain access to the Democratic National Committee's national voter file under a deal reached late Friday, hours after Sanders sued the DNC.

The DNC, which suspended Sanders' access to the data after a campaign worker accessed confidential voter information from rival Hillary Clinton's campaign this week, will lift the ban effective on Saturday, according to statements from Sanders and the DNC.

The deal was reached hours after the Sanders campaign accused the DNC in a lawsuit of causing it “substantial financial, reputational and political injury” with the suspension. Friday night's agreement doesn't end the lawsuit, according to a Sanders aide.
