Noguera says one thing and does another, and is a faux critic of ed deform, writing meaningless criticisms of the DOE while in practice enabling the hostile takeover of the public schools.  He should be called on his actions, or lack thereof, rather than having his empty criticism of the DOE give him the unearned reputation as an independent figure. He seems to be in the Obama mold: throwing out some occasional progressive rhetoric as a distraction and diversion from the interests he is truly serving.

The Bloombergs, Gates’ and Broads of the world know how easily and cheaply academics can be domesticated and led by the nose.
