39. Arne has had confrontations with teachers' unions...said they would "water down standards."

That was such an insulting thing to say.

Arne warns states not to "water down" education plans to please unions.

Mr. Duncan said in an interview that he welcomed the friction between union and state officials but warned against states weakening their overhaul plans simply to win buy-ins from unions. "Watered-down proposals with lots of consensus won't win," he said. "And proposals that drive real reform will win."
