What #liberals and #left-thinkers don’t seem to get about #education

Chalk Face is left-leaning and Democratic, no lies. But here’s the problem. It’s a screenshot of a survey over at Daily Kos, which is one of the liberal blogs of record.

See that first answer choice there, public education? It’s not just Republicans destroying public education all right? We have Democrats for Education Reform and we also have big-whig philanthropists who are of the more liberal persuasion. If anything, Federal education policy, vis-a-vis bipartisan efforts throughout the 2000s and now from a capital D White House and DOE, is more at risk from Democrats than Republicans. Actually, liberals have failed miserably when it comes to education policy. They have been totally ineffective and are always on the defensive.

It’s the centrist Democrat that’s really the problem here. So, the Republican assault on public education, despite the extremity of some far-right views, doesn’t concern me as much.
