WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is trying to close the deal in the House on his health care overhaul, facing a make-or-break vote that's certain to be seen as a test of his presidency. Obama scheduled a visit late Saturday morning to meet with House Democrats, who planned a rare weekend session. The legislation is intended to remake the health care system by extending coverage to tens of...

"ThePrez" could almost fool folks into believing his tony, fony, fatuous "Race-To-The-Top" rhetoric about being an advocate of public education--unless of course you actually listened to him, read his proposals, or you regard his appointment of the vile, criminal, coopted, corpoRat, fascist bully, Arne Duncan to EdSec . Whatsoever either one of 'em says, their bottom-line is: they...

Not surprising because he’s a liberal, Arne Duncan believes throwing more money at early-childhood education programs will ensure that a more-qualified pool of applicants will be available for future military service. On Thursday, according to a media advisory, the former head of the failed Chicago Public Schools-turned-Secretary of Education will precede a call for more “investment”...

Education Secretary Arne Duncan feels that “we’re lying to our children” when we accept low test achievement standards, a state-level policy that sees many states passing children to the next grade despite being inept at reading and math. Also, Santa isn’t real. The Associated Press: Many states set achievement standards so low that they can say their students are reading and...

Yesterday, I offered the Fordham Foundation’s Andy Smarick an answer to a burning question: What is the proper federal role in education? It was a question prompted by repeatedly mixed signals coming from U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan about whether Washington will be a tough guy, coddler, or something in between when it comes to dealing with [...]

SAN DIEGO -- By stalling on issues ranging from Afghanistan to immigration reform, President Obama has earned a reputation for being indecisive. Yet Obama did make one decision that was positively brilliant -- naming Arne Duncan as secretary of education. Duncan proved this again last week when he zeroed in on an often-overlooked part of the education reform equation: the nation's teachers colleges....

On his blog, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood dismisses my research (see here and here) on car seats. My favorite quote from the secretary: "Now, if you want to slice up the data to be provocative, have at it. As a grandfather and as secretary of an agency whose number one mission is safety, I don't have that luxury." Reading the Secretary's blog post, it strikes me just how differently...

K evin Chavous is an African American and former Democratic city council member from Washington, D.C. He says he’s an Obama supporter, but he is distinctly unhappy with the president. Elections may have consequences, but no one expected that the White House would be so brazenly petty as to allow poor minority children in the nation’s worst school district to become the victims of political...
