Kennedy endorses Obama. An NCLB subtext?
Leo Casey posts in today’s EdWize, the UFT’s blog, that the Ted Kennedy endorsement of Barack Obama has an NCLB subtext. Casey speculates that both Kennedy and California Congressman George Miller are endorsing Obama because Obama is not as critical of NCLB as Hillary has been.
There is a growing consensus among NCLB hawks like Kennedy and Miller that Obama would be much more amenable to their position.
Perhaps. But Casey, who is rumored to be in the running to take Randi Weingarten’s place as UFT President, should point out that the UFT gave an early stamp of approval to Hillary. That provides some “subtext” too.
