It would be hard for a world class pulp fiction practitioner to make up this scenario.
If there is anything the Tea Party hates more than Agenda 21, its Common Core. Something Jeb loves all the way to the bank. Recently, Jeb received an open letter from a woman named Chris Quackenbush (yes, that is her name) who heads something called Stop Common Core Florida. According to Quackenbush (you can't repeat that name too many times), Bush had better look out if he thinks he can buy the White House with crony capitalist money. Let Quackenbush's letter speak for itself. It would harder for any MSNBC bloviator to (probably accurately) caricature Jeb's "pay to play" educational cronyism any better:
"Yesterday, March 13, as you entered the Governors Club in Tallahassee, you spoke to me as a small group of us held signs to get your attention to our serious concerns about your federal education program called Common Core...Three grandmas drove 12 hours each to see you, face to face, and you turned and scoured at us as though we were naval lint … pond scum. As I stated 'Stop Common Core,' your disparaging retort was 'it is a good thing there’s only three of you.' As you turned and disappeared into the exclusive club, $1,000 per plate event to celebrate the Foundation for Florida’s Future, I said, 'There were lots more, but we weren’t invited.'"
"You, Jeb Bush and your corporate cronies, have decided what is good for the children of America and WE -- parents, educators, and concerned taxpayers -- were not invited," she wrote.
