Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is resigning. One of the early questions about Duncan was why he and Obama weren’t shy about defending Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar,” Kevin Jennings. It was so ugly, the Washington Times apologized for having to talk about it. Duncan took the position in 2009, as did Jennings, who left in 2011.

The Obama administration is stonewalling serious inquiries about sexual filth propagated by a senior presidential appointee who is responsible for promoting and implementing federal education policy. Democrats clearly are terrified of ruffling the feathers of their activist homosexual supporters, who are an influential part of the Democratic party’s base.

From the letter sent to Superintendents,

The U.S. Department of Education seeks to encourage and support superintendents who commit to taking a leadership role in this transition with recognition and resources to help facilitate this transition to digital learning.

The main goal of this initiative is to get districts, charters and private schools to commit to maximizing their use of digital learning and broadband access to the internet. They want schools to fund the resources necessary to “leverage their maximum impact on student learning…

NEW YORK – Don’t feel bad if you can’t figure out what U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s position on Common Core is – it apparently changes by the day. Roughly 48 hours after downplaying his support of the nationalized learning standards before a congressional subcommittee, Duncan spoke glowingly about the K-12 experiment and its potential to improve public education during an address at New York University on Thursday. Duncan told audience members that the new standards will help prepare students for college or the work world and will give the United States’ education system a much-needed shot in the […]
