The Daily Caller reports:
Failing private-sector schools will get the knife, but failing government schools will get billions of dollars in taxpayer funds under pending federal education regulations, education secretary Arne Duncan said on Friday.
Taxpayers provide $30 billion each to private-sector education companies via loans to students who enroll in about 8,000 education programs, so the government can and will kill bad programs by denying them funding, Duncan said.
“We anticipate about a quarter of those 8,000 programs failing,” Duncan said at a White House press conference.
“We want bad actors, frankly, to go away,” Duncan said.
There's more:
Will the government “push bad actors out of the K-12 sector?”
“No,” Duncan admitted.
Instead, the government will provide billions of dollar to low-performing, government run-schools even as it tries to cut billions of dollars from low-performing private-sector schools, he said.
Socialism means the survival of the unfittest.
