Arne Duncan: “Instead of penalizing schools that are identified as needing improvement, we should put a system in place that invests…”

This is not left versus right, R versus D. This is a threat to dismantle public education and higher education in our country. And we should all be very, very scared of what could happen here.

Our international competitors are not making the mistake of disinvesting in education.

What is more important to me is what is actually happening to real students.

I want to thank Senator Alexander and Senator Murray for their good faith bipartisan work to try to fix the broken No Child Left Behind.
