In response to Sen. Barack Obama’s education speech yesterday, the McCain campaign is circulating the following sentence I wrote in 2007:
In his eight years in the state Senate and two years in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama hasn’t made a significant mark on education policy.
I’d like to remind the campaign that earlier this year I quoted an Arizona superintendent saying this about McCain:
I don’t think he has a strong track record of putting education at the top of his priorities.
Read the Obama story and the McCain story and you can decide who has a better track record on K-12 issues.
