| 6. Absolutely, Arne Duncan is a privatizer of education |

his only goal is to fatten the pockets of private educators at the expense of public education.
As to the Obama Administration decision not to prosecute war criminals and human rights abusers of the Bush Administration, that is a violation of the Constitutional requirement that all the laws "are faithfully executed."
John Yoo walks free!
