scandal in sacto schools »

I’m from Sacramento.  Our mayor is Kevin Johnson. Kevin Johnson was an NBA player from Sacramento who returned to fix the ghetto.  I’m not sure those were his exact words, but that’s basically what his message was.  Michelle Rhee is the chancellor of education (well, thats what we call it in ny, forgive my error… class starts soon) in Washington D.C. and one of the most famous (and crazy?) leaders of the anti-union, testing and numbers are everything, but really I’m just doing this to end the race gap movement.  They both worked at St. Hope, a charter school company in Sacramento.  Apparently, while they were working there, KJ was accused of touching THREE young women inappropriately and then Rhee swooped in to cover the whole thing up !! They also grossly misused government funding.  Rhee wanted to bring the St. Hope charter “Experience” to infiltrate the D.C. system.

Sounds like a great experience, no?  I mean, they are getting married after all of this scandal.  That should count for something about the effectiveness of their schools, right?

HA.

here’s more of a summary if we’re not reading the full report (why not?!!)
