Obama's Ed Pick
I would like to laud Obama's pick for Secretary of Education. Arne Duncan is a good man, who I had the pleasure to work with, albeit tangentially, back in high school. He's an old friend of my mentor/AP Euro teacher/Citizen Club sponsor/basketball coach, John Naisbitt, and Duncan helped Citizen Club, the political discussion group my friends and I started in high school, hook up with an inner city school to create a sort of urban-suburban domestic exchange. That was a great experience and I'm thankful to Duncan for facilitating that opportunity.
Beyond that, Duncan seems to be on the right side of many education issues, especially with his desire not to coddle unions and his apparent support for experimenting further with voucher systems.
