Well, it's not like he's exactly wrong in saying that anything Obama supports Republicans would oppose.

Yeah, hasn't he learned anything from 6 years in office? He should have said he was in favor of them.

Oh, right, this is the woman whose charter school program threw a shitfit because the NYC government threatened to let them use less public school resources than they expected.

The lady who actually runs the group Reshma Singh, is a former charter school executive, so there's that.

Yep, it's a bunch of rich assholes (and ultimately the financial companies which bankroll them) upset because they can't steal more money and resources from the public school system.

I like how she answered the question about evolution. "Oh no, we're not taking away due process, we're only taking away tenure."

She's being willfully ignorant about what tenure is so she and her backers can gently caress teachers.

Also the vomit-inducing horseshit about protesters "wanting to keep the debate from happening." gently caress that noise.

Astro Nut: Feb 22, 2013; Nonsensical Space Powers, Activate! Form of Friendship!

The bit about wanting to see more women on American currency reminds me of that one powerpuff girls episode, where the straw feminist only wanted to steal money so long as it had a woman on it - which entirely limited her to the silver dollar.

The really funny thing is that across the pond, we'll be having Jane Austen on the new �10 note.

I'm disappointed that Colbert wasn't harder on Campbell Brown. I would have liked to see him make her answer the evolution question and reveal her donors.

I wonder if he's prepping for the late show and doesn't want to get too controversial and mess it up.

I never heard of Campbell Brown before, but I'm already sick of the Rhee/Christie/Booker/film school documentary brand of education "reform" and it looks like this is right up the same alley.
