Phony school “reform” agenda takes a beating [View all]

The media barely noticed, but voters in three states rejected the profit-driven fraud that is education "reform"

Colorado: stand for children-targeted democrats won.

Indiana: SOS Tony bennett, 'darling of the 'reform' movement', lost.

And in idaho, voters rejected a radical restructuring of their schools.

Idaho is way conservative. Which goes to show you that conservatives aren't all as stupid as liberals paint them. smarter than liberals sometimes.
