Lead candidate for NYC Chancellor publicly opposed Obama Admin's abominable "Race To The Top". Apparently you can't do that.

The Petty Jealousy of Arne Duncan
I would say this is simply unthinkable, but when it comes to Arne Duncan, I've come to believe the worst is always possible:
"U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and at least one other Education Department official urged New York Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio and his team not to choose Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Joshua P. Starr as the city’s next schools chancellor, according to several people knowledgable about the selection process. It was an unusual move by the nation’s top education official and came in the wake of Starr’s vocal criticism of some of the Obama administration’s school reform policies." [emphasis mine]
Yes, folks, it's true: the SecEd, who has done everything he possibly could to overstep his bounds and dictate state and local education policy, apparently thinks is OK to sabotage the careers of people who dare to disagree with him:
"Some high-profile educators — including Starr, a Democrat — have criticized the Obama administration’s signature education program, Race to the Top, in which states and districts could win funding if they enacted Duncan-approved school reforms, including the expansion of charter schools and the evaluation of teachers by using student standardized test scores to determine a teacher’s “value” in the classroom.">>>>
