| Paul Horton here attempts to understand why the Obama administration is waging war on teachers. In sum, the war on teachers and due process for teachers is presented by many Democrats as a new war on poverty, and, somewhat obscenely, "the Civil Rights Movement of our time." He reminds us of Central Falls, when the Obama administration supported firing the entire staff of the high school. He remembers when the administration was neutral during the Chicago teachers' strike, and Arne Duncan's support for the noxious Vergara decision. He could have mentioned many other instances of the administration's hostility to teachers, such as Duncan's support for the L.A. Times story releasing the names and ratings of teachers. Or the administration's silence during the large demonstrations against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, or its silence as vouchers spread. |
