ARNE DUNCAN

When Secretary Margaret Spellings
Lauds Arne Duncan as the choice
Obama made, the rebel yellings
Of neocons will surely voice
Acclaim. With Duncan, education
Is all about expropriation
Of “public” from the public schools.
But students are nobody’s fools.
They understand that his expulsions
Have made him look like he raised scores
As business gave him raves and roars.
There’s method in his mad compulsions:
To test so he can privatize
Some schools and leave the rest as sties.
