Five
years ago I wrote that one day Joel Klein and his ilk would be taken
out of Tweed with coats over their heads. Maybe they'll never catch up
to the NYC guys, but they are closing in on some of the ilk.
We have 2 more reports on the growing
Michelle Rhee/Kevin Johnson/Obama admin
scandal surrounding Johnson's St. Hope charter school franchise, which
Rhee was St. Hoping to bring Johnson's St. Hope franchise into the DC
schools.
There's nothing like a sex and money scandal to get
one's blood boiling, and while the accusations of inappropriate
behavior towards students by Johnson may seem to be the more serious
charges, the guessing is that the misuse of federal Americorps funds by
Johnson and Rhee's attempts to aid the cover-up, are the real buttons
to push (though
here are details
of Johnson's actions with the girls/women). Also bet that we are just
scratching the surface. Johnson better hurry up that wedding to Rhee so
she can't testify against him.
Watch the tea baggers seize on this issue to further undermine the Obama administration for firing the investigator.
