This And That
The president-elect is now considering Michelle Rhee for Secretary of Education . (I find it interesting his actually going to keep it open because hard-core conservatives want it gone but then again, public education was of little interest on the campaign trail.) Ed reformers love this because Rhee is all things ed reform (TFA, charters, etc.) But still I smile. Conservatives had plenty to say about Hillary's baggage from her husband. Well, Rhee has even worse baggage with her husband, Sacramento mayor, Kevin Johnson. One of the most moving first-person narratives I have ever read, Academia, Love Me Back , by grad student, Tiffany Martinez.
