2. he doesn't grasp the long history of the neocorporatist ed reform establishment

and the consequences of university complicity when their budgets are cut and they can only survive by spewing Gates/Duncan/Pearson/Neil Bush neoliberal ed reform talking points.

The Common Core is ill-conceived and harmful and I don't think Hunt would have resisted it. His "institute" (I know the people who founded it) are top proponents of Common Core.

Leutze just doesn't get it, like the other business oligarchs who sat by and let 2010 happen, and who odiously drove Miller out of the 4th district by sticking with neoliberal David Price, because the banks hated Miller and all he had done to fight them. Miller is our Elizabeth Warren, and mainstream Dems showed their true colors when that happened.

You sow what you reap, Jim. Sorry.
