Arne
Duncan - Secretary of Education
Hill
was born in 1964 and was the CEO of the Chicago Public Schools.
Looks can be
deceiving. Duncan may not look very bright, but don't let that fool you. He really
isn't very bright. Besides the sad state of affairs of the Chicago Public Schools,
Obama chose Duncan because he's really good at playing basketball.
Duncan, who
is about the same age as Obama, played junior varsity basketball at Harvard. He
went on to play "professionally" with foreign teams of which you have
never heard and he never made it to the NBA. However, he does like to boast that
he has played pick-up games with Michael Jordan.
Despite his career running
the Chicago Public Schools (into the ground), Duncan has never been a teacher.
Isn't it reassuring to have his leadership as Secretary of Education?
