So much of the policy talk around #education has so deeply absorbed the 1982 Reagan “A Nation at Risk” EdReform agenda — 44 years in, that agenda has only worsened things. Which was the point, I think.

"Sold A Story for ____" is the whole ballgame. It's the reduction of education discourse and democratic dialogue to the level of True Crime, where bad people are intentionally harming YOUR CHILD by teaching THE WRONG WAY.

Hand-picked, CTU friendly school board members going to CTU negotiations is not only sketchy, but clearly a conflict-of-interest. #edreform
