Joel Klein is doing it in New York City, Paul Vallas is<br />doing it in New Orleans, in fact, every graduate of the Broad Center for<br />Superintendents is singing the same tune. There isn't an ounce of<br />sincerity in one of them, especially Rhee! They are all ideologues and<br />functionaries who do as Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Jeb Bush and<br />other super-rich men instruct them.<br /><br />These think tanks are places like the Hoover Institute where neoliberals<br />crawl around considering how unions, public schools and Social Security<br />can be destroyed and the US can be transformed into a vast slave labor<br />camp.<br /><br />Since the DCPS is overwhelmingly populated with African-American<br />children and other children of color, Ms. Rhee comment implies that<br />until she came along, no one cared for these children. No one cared, not<br />their parents, not their teachers, not the men and women who represent<br />their parents in political office, no one BR (before Rhee).<br /><br />Seems like a fair question next time you see her, Chairman Gray. Ask Ms.<br />Rhee if she really believes that she cares about Black children more<br />than you do. Ask her to go back in her life and cite concrete and<br />demonstrable acts that prove her anti-racist credentials and superior<br />wisdom on these matters.<br /><br />Paul A.
