Schooling in the Ownership Society: Merrow says Klein was the architect of current corporate reform
In Sunday's Daily News, John Merrow claims that, "Love or loathe him, Joel Klein is the person most responsible for shaping U.S. schools today." Improbable as it may sound, Merrow is probably right.

The fawning Merrow even credits Klein with nurturing Michelle Rhee.
