Bullshit. Pure and simple bullshit. If you missed the article here is the link:

From the article:

The Obama administration ignores the fact that federal policies have historically failed our children and turned the American educational system into a free fall of descending skills. Teachers, according to the Obama administration, are the reason our schools are failing. The administration claims that too few teachers were top students in high school and that too many teacher-prep programs are inadequate. Their solution is to support minority colleges and to attract minority teachers to meet future educational needs of students. Our Future, Our Teachers provides a solution based on race.

...

According to Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, a successful educational system will result once the 1.6 million teachers anticipated to retire have been replaced with those who have been trained by college programs shaped by The Obama Administration’s Plan for Teacher Education Reform and Improvement also known as Our Future, Our Teachers.

Mr. Duncan explains that once the Obama-trained teachers fill the classrooms, “we can transform public education in this country and finally begin to deliver an excellent education for every child.” However, if a transformed educational system is one in which teachers have been trained by colleges to accept federal mandates without reservation, irreparable harm will follow for the American student, the American economy, and the American political system.

Believing that teachers should be “trained”, the federal government devalues teachers. Training makes dogs obedient. Teachers should prepare for their profession by becoming highly competent in the subject(s) that they teach.

I am not sure where to begin with this I am really disappointed when I see articles like this.
