She is absolutely one of the most tasteless, clueless people I have ever heard about. Makes me wonder how she got so much power over our public schools. I guess she was allowed to do so because no one took a stand against her bullying of teachers and everyone else.

How dare she say such a thing and exploit that tragedy like that. Here is the paragraph that is just unfeeling and rude.

But events like these also strengthen our resolve to do exactly that -- improve schools for children and thereby improve entire communities. The entire StudentsFirst organization -- including the members of our team in Connecticut -- recommit ourselves to that mission today, as we pause to send our thoughts and prayers to those affected in Newtown. Statement by Michelle Rhee on Sandy Hook

proud2BlibKansan posted about it earlier, but it got very little attention. It needs more attention since this Rhee lady has spent most of the last four years ridiculing teachers. No one has told her to stop. In fact Arne Duncan has praised her.

Notice how she not only fails to mention the teachers, several of whom DIED while protecting their children, and she adds a plug for her organization?

Think I am kidding about the ridicule directed by her and her group, Students First, toward public schools and teachers? Here is the video that group put out to defend their offensive ad during the Olympics. The original ad and the 2nd insulting ad are shown in the link below the video.
