about Jerry Brown:
“I am going to starve the schools financially until I get some educational reforms,” said the Governor of California, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
“What reforms? What do you want?” asked Jack Rees, the executive director of the California Teachers Association.
“I don't know yet.”

Overall . . what a mix of left and right populism!
And I guess this would an example of right-wing populism. So, there are a 100 things Brown doesn’t know about public schools. But he knows that he’s pretty much, umm, . . against the whole thing!
In particular, the occasional reality, and much exaggerated urban legend, that you can’t fire a clearly crappy teacher. (I’m guessing, but that’s pretty much the crux of the matter in a lot of cases)
