Remove Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government

Remove Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government:

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Remove Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education




Secretary of Education Arne Duncan consistently and flagrantly disregards the concerns of the parents and teachers of America's schoolchildren. He dismisses their concerns in favor of corporate interests. In his recent comments to the Council of Chief State Schools Officers, he said, "It’s fascinating to me that some of the pushback is coming from, sort of, white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were." This clearly demonstrates the complete lack of understanding he has and his utter contempt for the American people. He is both unqualified and unfit to lead the Department of Education and should be removed immediately.
