Bruce Dixon of the Black Agenda Report writes a MUST READ scathing commentary on Arne Duncan and John King. "John King is an arrogant autocrat in a highly public, highly visible position, committed to enforcing a set of massively unpopular policies.

King started out as a charter school teacher and administrator, and eventually headed a chain of charter schools with exceptionally onerous disciplinary policies.
