Sorry, but I always see the forest for the trees. First, almost every state has an education system that's under severe economic pressure. Why? What happened to all the money? Why are the second round of layoffs in Seattle's school system not the real scandal? Why are we transforming teachers into plantation workers? Not because of Goodloe-Johnson and Potter, I'm afraid. You have to go back to 2008. You have to see the forest. You have to listen to what the director of Inside Job, Charles Ferguson, said this Sunday during the Oscars:

"Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that's wrong..."

This superintendent stuff is just a distraction, a way of not dealing with the much deeper problems of accountability in our society. If Potter committed a crime, he owes a debt to society. Those who crashed the entire economy and consequently bankrupted the public education system, and refuse to pay taxes in any meaningful way, have yet to return even a fraction of their deep debt to this society.
