David Freddoso: Obama on education reform
‘They Wanted More School’
National Review Online, David Freddoso, 8.11.2008
Obama’s approach to education is part of a much broader pattern that characterizes his political career. As with his backing of Chicago’s machine bosses, his sponsorship of legislation and earmarks to help such donors as Tony Rezko, and his support for special-interest subsidies in Washington. Obama participates in or at least remains silent about real problems and systemic corruption that is caused by his own political allies.
