The Box Score: HISTORY/LITERATURE/GEOGRAPHY - 0 | CHARTER SCHOOLS - 29

"Take a look at Arne Duncan's speeches. Over the past six months, he's made nine major policy addresses that have been posted on his Department's web site. And in those speeches, he's mentioned "history," "literature," and "geography" exactly zero times. Meanwhile, there were seven instances of "accountability," and "charter schools" left his lips an astounding twenty-nine times."
