...if they think everything is hunky-dory, like the NEA drones would have us believe.

The DLC approach to education (public school choice, high standards, accountability) is more popular in impoverished communities than in the well-heeled suburbs. Piss-poor schools are a daily reality in inner cities, and residents are fed up.

While suburbanites with kids in private schools may cluck, and current and retired members of the education bureaucracy may squawk, these ideas are actually working, thanks to Democrats like Bart Peterson and Eva Moskowitz, people whose interest lies with the kids they represent, not the talking-points writers at the NEA.
