If It’s Evil You Want, Hire a Professional
Suppose your goal is to accelerate the decline in the U.S. educational system. Maybe you look at the fact that 35% of our kids still read at grade level and you think you can bring that down to single digits with enough hard work. You figure, correctly, that defunding literacy programs might just get you there.
I get this. It’s evil beyond comprehension, but maybe that’s your mission in life.
Here’s what I do not understand: You appoint a buffoon like Betsy DeVos to make it happen. Can’t you find anyone who can defend her position without making such a total fool out of herself every time (like this one) she gets in front of a camera? Can’t you find a single knowledgeable and articulate person to put the final nail in the coffin?
Craig,
Hmmmm,…bolstering partisan political opinion, by citing as a reference another a fellow partisan political blogger, doesn’t add credibility. Nor does gratuitous abuse and name calling.
But, more importantly, the deployment of wild hyperbole, lessens your credibility when you speak out on other issues.
Of all the issues in the world that can be properly described as “evil beyond comprehension”, (Pol Pot comes to mind), 9/11, the Holocaust etc, do you really believes a policy argument about funding literacy programs might really compare ?
