Education cuts show party debate over Obama school reform

The Hill reports:

The war and education spending bill passed by the House is exposing the raging debate within the Democratic Party over the Obama administration’s school reforms.

The House Democrats’ package that passed Thursday cuts President Barack Obama’s signature education program, Race to the Top, and other administration reform efforts by $800 million, using the savings to help offset the cost of more Pell Grants and a new $10 billion fund to save teacher jobs.
