The St Paul fiasco–
The new Education Secretary could earn backing from some public school teachers by protecting them from “retaliation” by administrators and others for truthful reports about safety and education problems.
So instead of local citizens and teachers demanding the School district act in an ethical and truthful manner, we should have the Federal government step in?
The last thing anyone needs is more federal involvement in schools.
That’s a case of “we gave them the cure, but the patient died.”
