I don't like to quote conservative websites here, but this is a very good take on why Rhee is considered important.
From the America Thinker website, January 10, about Rhee's report card. I hope my post won't be alerted on because I KNOW it's a conservative site....but they are so right in these 4 paragraphs.
And our side doesn't want to pay attention.
Michelle Rhee's modus operandi of jack-booting teachers, principals, and anyone else who gets in her way is all for show. The very data she so heavily endorses and depends on to make tough decisions in hiring and firing apparently means nothing when it comes to moving the needle on the "equality gap" inside inner-city classrooms.
So when StudentsFirst issued its merciless "report card" on states' policies, why should anyone believe what it says? Yet the press promotes the group as though they are experts when it comes to education reform.
The two highest-ranking states were Florida and Louisiana - each with a B-minus. Alabama, California, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming all flunked, according to StudentsFirst. They were given F's.
Who even asked Rhee to weigh in? Well, if we tweak Alinsky a little -- it's not the power you have; it's the power they think you have -- when someone without the data to prove it acts like she's in charge, then everyone will think she's in charge, right?

So true, she acts like she's important and the media does puff pieces.
AND neither our Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, nor President Obama say a single word of warning about the harm she is doing.
