Here you can see a rare event: a trifecta of school reform rhetoric.
A spokesman for Jeb Bush’s organization writing an article praising the “parent trigger” in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post, espousing the principles of the rightwing ALEC.
This is a splendid demonstration of how the rightwing carefully uses progressive terminology to promote its agenda.
And by the way, the 1925 Supreme Court decision that this guy writes about had nothing to do with publicly funded school choice or a parent trigger. It came about because far-right groups in Oregon pushed through a law and a referendum that threatened to close down private and parochial schools. The rhetoric from the far-right then was that all American children should attend public schools, not any others. The law was challenged by the Society of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, whose school was at risk of closure. The Supreme Court upheld the right of parents to send their children to a nonpublic school. Nothing was said or implied about public funding for nonpublic schools or about the current rightwing assertion that parents should have the right to seize control of their public school and hand it to a private corporation. Connecting this court decision with the parent trigger is a wild stretch.

From the article:
“Yet many schools are aren’t delivering — and haven’t for decades”. They have the Big Lie down don’t they. My response: Where’s the beef??
“Even aside from the ugly, racial undertones of their comments,” So, if I’m against the parent trigger law now I’m a racist, eh? Another Big Lie!!
“The need for improvement is inarguable: The state identified 1,325 schools and 123 districts in 2011-12 that failed to meet performance targets.” Although perhaps not a Big Lie, definitely not a “complete truth” (as if one needs the adjective to describe a “truth” in that the problem is not the supposed “failure” of said schools and districts but in the falsehoods, errors and invalidities involved in the “performance targets”.
One has to admit that these guys are good at staying on message, but then again the puppeteers/moneymen behind them make sure they do stay on target.
