Barack Obama’s educational privatizer in chief, Arne Duncan, has announced that he is stepping down at the end of the year:

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan plans to step down from his Cabinet position by the end of the year, leaving the Obama administration more than a year before the president’s term will end.

“He’s done more to bring our educational system, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the 21st century than anyone else,” President Obama said as he announced Duncan’s resignation at the White House on Friday afternoon. “America will be better off for what he has done.”

OK, as is made clear by Obama’s statements, the Cossacks work for the Czar.

As anti-public education and anti-teacher as he has been, it is clear that he has been executing a pro-Wall Street, anti-Teacher, and anti-Student^* agenda at Obama’s behest.

Still, I am sure that he will get a 7 figure jackpot at the end of the rainbow.

^*As I have asked many times, “Is there anything that big finance can’t make destructive and evil?”^†
†If the goal is to involve Wall Street in a public service, the effect will harm that service. QED.
