I think your missing the progressive plan, building a government, social, and economic plan around sustainability and stability.

Secretary of Education will become one of the more important cabinet positions under Obama.

Remember guys, you're the ones who think he's a Socialist. Socialists like schools.

Is he going to start federalizing schools?  Cause as it stands now the Secretary of Education is nothing but a glorfied check writer.

 

 

Schools are already paid for with federal tax dollars, he can do it different ways.  He can increase funding... or maybe start some type of school corps, fix NCLB, create some type of national education database (like a library or learning center).

Not everything is always a massive program. Sometime ideas, discussion, and planning can lead to a very effective action with very little money.

Republicans claim not to spend money on black and poor schools because you can't just throw money at the problem...

That doesn't mean you don't try to solve it.
