| 40. The education takeover |
|
The money and power class won because the Democrats waded waist-deep in the Swamp of Test and Punish and abandoned teachers completely. As I said to my husband during the last SoTU address, "I just fucking love working in an environment when a Democrat president can't mention education without bashing teachers. Fun times."
And by the way, I subscribed to DU because of your education posts.
