No lousy common core for his kids, but more Liberal hypocrisy for the unwashed.

"Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s children will attend a private school in Chicago starting this fall, after attending public schools in Virginia for the past six years, the Education Department said Thursday.

Duncan, former head of Chicago Public Schools, recently told parents at a gathering of the National PTA, that “if ever there was a time when American public education needed the wisdom and advocacy of the PTA, it’s now.”

However, like many political figures who advocate for higher standards and better funding for public schools, private schools is the ultimate choice for their own children.

For the past few months, Duncan has been advocating for changes to the federal No Child Left Behind law, which drives billions in public dollars to thousands of schools. He denounced passage of a partisan House bill passed Wednesday that would eliminate dozens of requirements for public schools but still allow them to draw federal dollars.

“Instead of supporting the schools and educators that need it most, this bill shifts resources away from them. Instead of ensuring states and districts improve struggling schools and serve all students, it makes that optional,” he said after the bill passed by a narrow margin.

Duncan’s wife, Karen, recently moved back to Chicago to work at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, where tuition for middle and high school is nearly $30,000 a year. Duncan is an alumnus. The University of Chicago pays 50 percent of tuition for children of employees."

"But unfortunately not all parents can afford private school for their kids in Chicago. That's just plain discriminatory!"

Could it be...could it be...white privilege?
