The interesting thing about loony paranoia is how seamlessly it  incorporates 
absolutely inconsistent propositions.  First we heard  that state tests were 
going to destroy public education.  Now we  hear that we need state tests to 
protect public education.  I suppose next  we will be hearing that Monty Neill 
is holding the Nebraska system up as a  national model.  Nah, that will never 
happen.

national system controlled by ED, who will continue to seed and feed charter  and 
voucher initiatives while the public schools are being ground up by a  national 
testing scheme designed to destroy any remaining public confidence in  the 
public schools.
