Criticizing Obama on Education.
He’s straddling the Democratic divide, trying to appease the opponents of change.
That’s the rap on Obama education policy.
From the wing-nut right.
Mike Petrilli writing on Fordham’s Flypaper:
What’s it going to take for (us) to get warm again? Strong appointments for Deputy Secretary and Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education would help. So would a reversal of the Administration’s decision to rescind scholarship offers from 200 needy District of Columbia families. And smart moves around the Secretary’s “Race to the Top” incentive fund and his $650 million slush fund (I mean “innovation” fund) would help too. For now, it’s clear that President Obama continues to straddle the Democratic divide on education. But it’s not too late for him to pick a side (the right side, let’s hope).
