re: #563 albusteve

Business interests as well as most Republicans backed the bill that was opposed by teachers and their unions, local school officials and Democrats.

It passed 64-55 in the GOP-controlled House on a largely party-line vote at 2:26 a.m. The debate dragged on for more than eight hours although opponents acknowledged at the start they didn’t have the votes to stop the bill from passing.

“I believe it will cause many of your best teachers to leave the profession or the state because this legislation is so profoundly disrespectful towards the education profession,” Ravitch wrote.

where did I hear something similar to this?

The Dems will never approve of bills like that. They’re in hoc to the unions, same as the GOP is to the teabaggers. Both parties have assholes in the base, but on this education bill, its the Dem assholes who are hurting the public.
