Obama’s Education Secretary Slams Perry’s Texas: ‘I Feel Very, Very Badly For The Children There’

TPM reports:
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is taking a rhetorical shot at one of President Obama's possible election opponents, slamming the education system in Gov. Rick Perry's home state of Texas.

"Far too few of their high school graduates are actually prepared to go on to college," Duncan said on Bloomberg Television. "I feel very, very badly for the children there."
Just a reminder, this is former Chicago Public school system(CPS) boss Arne Duncan saying this. Not even 8% of the graduates from CPS will have a college degree by the time they are 25. No wonder Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obama didn't send THEIR children to CPS.
