Oh for pity’s sake, Art. What have Eduwonkers learned from the election? A muddle, that’s what. And yet, there are some clear voices in the wilderness, among them, Colorado. Listen, convincing voters in a purple state to raise close to a billion dollars in taxes is no mean feat.

What to make of it all? Back to you, Andrew at Bellwether…

Maybe Eduwonk and colleagues receive corporate support because they do in fact learn important things from Colorado and other venues and report the implications for education accurately, comprehensively, and incisively.

In swing state Colorado, voters agreed to raise taxes.

For schools across the Front Range, urban and suburban alike.

Eduwonkers might wanna take a look at Colorado and learn something rather than sitting back in your corporate-financed non-profits pontificating on the meaning of it all. It would be nice to know how such matters fared in other states.

Please check out the curriculum vitae for our Bellwether experts. NOT ONE of them has ever had anything to do with math or physics.

Our national intellect is being BLUDGEONED by this army of experts. And the time has arrived. We ARE TUNING THEM OUT.

The real people, the smarties, are teaching math and science. The rest are idle bystanders trying to look like they are doing something. Look at ALL of the policy degrees and journalism dopes. Useless, Entirely useless.

This is their career. Watching other engage in mind blowingly difficult work.

If the military were run the way these idiots are running our schools into the ground, it would have been DEFEATED.

They, of course, deride my comments as being “devoid of careful analysis.” My response is this: Why can a mathematician or physicist site his or her assumption in one half page, but you guys either DO NOT list them, or CANNOT list them, or must put then in an extract UNAVAILABLE to the public or so entirely confuse and abstruse in content that nobody either cares to read it, or you CANNOT EXPLAIN IT.

Answer that.
