He's right on the money when he talks about companies wanting a labor pool from which to draw workers with very narrow skills. This is why NCLB has put such extreme emphasis on high-stakes testing. And if you think it is one party or the other it's not. Government and business are intertwining so far it is hard to see where one ends and the other begins. Demsocrats work to increase the power of the former and Republicans the latter. The media likes to exaggerate their differences and they bicker and fight on CSPAN but they both ultimately serve the same master.
