In response to the Russ Whitehurst quote:

Like with NCLB? Why wait 100 years for a nirvana? Let's do it now!

We're already enlightened enough about this snake oil.

I am shocked, shocked! to hear a Bush appointee talk about nirvana being related to tossing people into jail for ideological reasons.
