We have brought you the story before that the current round of "education reform" is a myth, that its just a ruse to try...

This time, its 7 pages . . . but still he doesn't look into the Couper case? And, there is a startling conclusion . . . he agrees with himself . . . go figure.

I post this mostly as a warning to my neighbors . . .
