laid out in the last part of the letter, why she believes he is doing what he is doing. He is hoping that the schools fail, which she put in the form of a question, so that they will close down and more Education Money will be funneled to private Corps for Charter schools.

It's ALL about money, this Race to the Top/NCLB garbage.

Since Dems got elected there has been silence on the attacks on teachers.
