The Arne Duncan Scandal

"In Chicago, Obama Aide Had V.I.P. List for Schools" is the headline on the New York Times article reporting that President Obama's education secretary, Arne Duncan, kept a log documenting requests from politicians and other big shots who wanted help getting their children into selective public schools.

The Chicago Tribune's John Kass has a column on what he calls "Chicago's two-tiered public school system": "Does anyone actually believe that political insiders weren't favored at the expense of deserving kids? No."

Just wait to see how health care works once it is a universal entitlement like primary and secondary education.
