Oh, Kentucky. A state slowly being beaten down by the usual gang of mediocre businessmen masquerading as public servants.
Big data, charter entrepreneurs, voucher fans, pension vultures, testocrats– they’ve all taken a shot at grabbing tax dollars from Kentucky taxpayers with a great deal of patience and varying degrees of success, even if Kentucky’s teachers did raise a fuss (prompting Governor Matt Bevin to demonstrate yet again what low regard he holds the profession in).
Now Kentucky’s Department of Education has let everyone know what their priorities are for the coming year, and it is once again not good news for fans of actual public education.
