What Passes for Education These Days

What passes for education these days sounds an awful lot like Communist "re-education camps."  A few examples:

• "A group of San Francisco first-graders took an unusual field trip to City Hall on Friday to toss rose petals on their just-married lesbian teacher - putting the public school children at the center of a fierce election battle over the fate of same-sex marriage."
• Dear Leader Obama gets fifteen pages in an 8th grade English literature textbook, excusez moi?!?! Hat tip to Gateway Pundit. Majorly creepy. 
• Talentless, angry grade school art teacher creates sculpture of George Bush made out of bull excrement.  Prints using the F word, sculptures made out of dung, how transgressive!

Deval/Obama Comparison & Deval's Impact on Education

I got a sneak preview of a Weekly Standard article over at MassRootsGOP which makes the comparison between Barak Obama and MA governor Deval Patrick (nothing new there).  What was new and noteworthy in the article was the record of Deval Patrick's record caving to the the unions, especially the teachers union.  It's a must-read. Deval Patrick is systematically undoing many of the gains of Romney's administration and other predecessors who brought charter schools and accountability to public schools.  What a shame.
