"Arne Duncan’s Brave New World: Dept. of Education Wants Your Kid’s Blood Type?"

Patrick Richardson recently reported this at Pajamas Media.com. He includes the implications that the post heading indicates:
"Forty-one states — plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands — have signed on to a set of standards that makes local school boards all but superfluous. State boards of education become redundant as well if curricula are decided at a national level rather than at a state level.
Local control, long a hallmark of the U.S. education system, would be lost to a 'one size fits all' solution imposed by bureaucrats who cannot possibly know the needs or challenges of a local school district."
