The Arne Duncan Reaction Digest
Now that President-elect Obama has selected Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan to be the next U.S. Secretary of Education, it’s as though a dam has burst and all the punditry that was building up has come flooding out. You don’t have time to read it all, so here are the short versions of the reactions so far:
* Checker Finn – Duncan good.
* David Hoff – Duncan supports NCLB.
* The Klonsky boys (Fred and Mike) – We have successfully curbed our enthusiasm.
* Business Roundtable – Kumbaya.
* Norm Scott – Klein Lite.
* USA Today - Duncan played basketball in Australia.
* Flypaper – Duncan is a canvas.
* Alexander Russo – If you knew Duncan like I know Duncan.
* Margaret Spellings – Duncan is a kindred spirit.
* Dana Goldstein – Duncan signed two competing manifestos.
* Dennis Van Roekel – We want more money.
