Thanks for this posting. Duncan's really terrible and should have no place in a progressive administration.

A classic indictment:

"His department's failed education agenda has focused on more high-stakes testing, grading and pitting public school children against each other based on test scores, and promoting policies and decisions that undermine public schools and colleges, the teaching profession, education professionals and education unions."

Good for the California teachers and their union.
