Call me a cynic, but I think the educrats plan it this way. They wait for challenges to pass, like Propositions 74 and 75, and then when they win, they literally spit in the voter’s face. The latest outrage—the effort of these educrats to avoid any accountability for doing their job. By way of background, in 1999, in his first year as Governor, Gray Davis passed a milquetoast education package, intended to improve our schools. He also proposed a high school exit exam, a final test which would determine if the school district had actually done its job—that is—whether the student could actually read the diploma the school was issuing.
