"Hopefully this is just the beginning of truth being spoken to Michelle Rhee and her billionaire backers' power. The mendacious Rhee is a pariah, and her destructive corporate "reforms" and privatization pushing in DC will take years to mitigate."

1. Scroll ahead to the 4 minute mark

and hear about the principal and what she said to the school community.

2. This is truly one of the saddest events I've ever heard

And in light of what we've seen of the planfor the whole country, once again, we see the tearing apart communities. There is an us against them mentality being taken up as a banner and spread from sea to shining sea. What better way to rip a country apart than to play one group against another. This is all intentional. Because as long as we are fighting factions, those who are setting the stage, the corporate masters, can come in and do whatever they want.

5. Those kids lost a couple of years at middle school.

They're not gonna catch up.

This has to go viral.

6. I heard nothing good about

Michelle Rhee from the DC community when I lived there before my move from Maryland to New Hampshire in 2010. The community owned radio station that I listened to covered the issues non-stop. I am so sorry for the DC public schools - they needed and deserved better.

Rhee among other issues was the reason that DC Mayor Adrian Fenty was challenged in the primary (2010) and lost his bid to re-elected mayor of DC.
