Talk of post in Obama cabinet: Klein smiles but doesn’t confirm

Today’s Washington Post singled out Chancellor Joel Klein as a potential Secretary of Education pick for the now-in-formation Barack Obama administration.
Is Klein angling to get the heck out of Gotham? If he is, he’s not saying.
Smiling broadly, Klein told reporters this afternoon that he hadn’t spoken to the president-elect and that it would be “presumptuous” for him to comment on whether he’d accept a job that hasn’t been offered to him. “I have a job,” the chancellor said.

Klein has destroyed more schools than he has improved! He has vilified the best and the brightest NYC educators. I know of no educator who believes that Klein has been beneficial to the schools. Obama is about altruism. Klein is about ego and power. Obama would regret appointing Joel Klein to the Department of Education just as NYC Mayor Bloomberg has secretly regretted Klein’s tenure. Please President Elect Obama. Give Joel Klein an ambassadorship to Siberia.

Joel Klein has tried very hard to ruin the NYC public school system. And while we look forward to his last days as chancellor to begin our reconstruction here, we cannot in good faith wish him upon the national arena. Please President Elect Obama, look harder. We believe in you.
