No, they “f** you I got mine” attitude is exactly what a person like myself hates to see. It’s the same thing as FB pushing for social media/internet regulations, it makes you wonder why they are pushing for it.
When you create a department of X, the actual incentive is for that department to make things worse so they can get more funding.

The current system is not producing the equal playing field that education was supposed to be. So, you whine about those suggesting school choice, but what's your solution? Because the current system isn't working, and doesn't look like it's going to start working any time soon.
For anyone else, take a look at who keeps cutting funding to education and funneling funds to profit oriented companies before you let this guy play this kind of disingenuous game here.
Especially as Reason's positions often carry the Libertarian bent of "fuck you, got mine" as the motivation to further erode the equal playing field that education was supposed to be... often this is in the form of distance gating "good" schools away from the "bad" ones, and by proxy, the "bad" neighborhoods... whatever the cloak term of choice is these days, eg "underperforming", challenged, ghetto, etc...
