Race To The Top Second Round Results; States Voting for Obama in 2008 Winners

In geographically unbalanced results for reinforcement of public education, the President's Race to the Top (the N.A.A.C.P. hasn't protested the name) has awarded all the prizes to states voting for Obama in 2008 with the only exceptions being Georgia that went for McCain. The billions go to the haves, while Mississippi can just sing the blues

Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Maryland, Ohio, New York, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida were winners in the second round. These states could ha been selected as places to invest pac money for Democratic elections as readily as for a public education contest. In the first round Tennessee-a McCain state, was the exceptional winner that wasn't in the Obama corner.

I don't know how to interpret this result, except that it seems prima facia politically biased. Public education in the U.S.A. is far too influenced as might a giant commune be, and yet the alternatives to public educations mediocre race to conformity and political correctness is challenging to upgrade.

It education were substantially privatized the corporate world would come to dominate and we would end up with indoctrinated corporatists pledging allegiance to Chairman Mao Fung Ceo. If public education is to have actual rather than statistical excellence a myriad flowers blooming program should replace the race to conformity at the top program.

Public supported private education corporations (receiving vouchers) should be limited to schools with less than 2000 employees in order that independence, and national business rather than globalists corporate schools, should increase. Excellence in education through small class loads and high quality facilities and educators non too conforming yet able to pass objective quality standards should be the goal of the U.S. Gvernment rather than collectivism as a national norm.

We are disappointed with the extremely politically biased results of the President's race to the top of the public sector indoctrination heap program. If anything, the dumb states need the money more than the rich--concentrating intellectual wealth seems a bad public policy yet one apposite to a member of a Harvard alumni association.
