New Edublog…This Time It’s Upmarket!

The school voucher folks have started an edublog: Edspresso. In what looks like a smart strategy it’s not going to just tout vouchers, which wouldn’t be that interesting — they like vouchers, I get it. Instead, they’ve got stuff like a Mike Petrilli – Neal McCluskey intra-conservative cage match debate about national standards and guest posts and so forth. Just one thought though: You’re the school voucher crowd, you want to have a blog to show the small ‘d’ democratic impulse behind your movement (which actually does genuinely exist in some cities), and you name it after an upscale yuppie coffee beverage? I don’t get it.
