When it comes to bogus reformy crap, it is hard to beat Education Reform Now, a group of self-described progressives which serves as a mirror organization for Democrats for Education Reform, proving that you can throw the words “progressive” and “democrat” around all you want and nobody will stop you.

ERN is not a fan of public education. They want charter schools, and they’d like to eliminate teacher job protections. (With DFER, they also present the annually hilariously horrifying Camp Philos.) So when they release a “report” about how to fix teacher certification, I get that shudder of someone walking over my profession’s grave.
