Arne Duncan and South Carolina

February 24, 2012 By Shane Vander Hart

Education Secretary Arne Duncan demonstrates the normal level of tolerance we’ve come to expect the Obama administration to show when a state doesn’t do what they want.  Some in South Carolina don’t want to play ball with the Common Core State Standards so he maligns their educational system.  Greg Foster blogging over at Jay P. Greene’s blog had this to say:

The U.S. Department of Education is not pressuring states to adopt Common Core. However, any state that takes action to resist Common Core will be immediately singled out by the Education Secretary for an extremely harsh public denunciation of its education system – which will obviously make it effectively impossible for the Department to look favorably upon that state when doling out grants and waivers for the foreseeable future.

I think he’s just acting like a bully.  Wait, don’t they have a program for that?

Campbell’s Law

"The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
