Some of the quotes:
The email, sent to fellow big Democratic donor Jabez Blumenthal, alerts his Democratic compatriot that he’s meeting with McKenna and complains about the local Democratic party being “on the wrong side of every important education reform issue.â€
Hanauer also calls Democratic leadership “stooges for the teachers union,â€
I have seen the enemy, and it is us.
We oppose charter schools. We oppose higher standards for kids. We oppose high standards for teachers. We oppose employment policies based on quality. We oppose accountability in all its forms. We oppose competition in any form.
We resist change and innovation. We prioritize the needs of adults over the interests of children.
Even the Gates Foundation has all but given up hope on our state.
This isn't some RWN. This is one of the biggest democratic donors in the state.

He's right. Washington's rules on education in many regards are terrible. A few years ago, the state had to turn down a Gates grant for science because they legally cannot evaluate teachers based upon student performance, which was required by the grant. Who the hell throws away a huge fricken' grant like that?!?

'Stooge' seems to be the go to word for the uncreative and sophomoric members of the left.

I saw a bunch of platitudes like "higher standards blah blah" without any mention of specifically how they are against "higher standards." The only specific I saw was "charter schools," so that's what I commented on. HTH!

Are learning disabled/special needs kids lumped into the same category as the rest of the student body in WA? If so I could see a reasonable objection to being evaluated based on student performance if I have two or three LD kids in my class and the teacher next door has none.

That's what the unions tell us so it must be true. But ask any parent in DC where they would rather send their children to and you get a different answer. Who to believe??
