Empowered by a new presence on the state school board, backers of Gov. John Kasich today forced out Ohio's state superintendent of education.

A tearful Deborah Delisle resigned this morning.

"Last Friday it was made known to me by two members of the governor's staff that my tenure was limited," Delisle said during a board meeting today. "They said they have the votes to replace me."

Several board members reacted with anger and tears of their own.

"This is disgusting," said member Robin C. Hovis, a Republican dumped earlier in the meeting as board president and replaced by a Tea Party proponent. "I denounce it."

He predicted Kasich would pick a "puppet superintendent" and replace Ohio Department of Education staff.

Another board member, Michael Collins, an elected member from Westerville, said, "If we allow this to move forward ... the sanctity of the state board has come to an end ... Superintendent Delisle, I don't want to accept your letter."

1. All part of their plan to privatize the entire system

Private schools for profit.

This governor is hell bent on privatizing everything he can in this state.

[Bandit]

6. Once Privatized almost impossible to get back in Public domain.

Once assets are sold it will be impossible to get them back as well, and from what I hear most everything is on the chopping block.

2. No offense to 40Somethings, but this new GOp batch of Governors

are a little too abrasive to be successful. Tell
me is this part of the age ?? I surely hope not.

A little finesse might go further to accomplish the
same thing.

Treat Media as if they have a disease and treat the
people like serfs. Kasich has to be pushed to say
or do anything publicly.

The pattern is the same Christie, Walker, Snyder,
Kasich.

3. Within a decade, there are only going to be a handful of states...

where it's possible to raise a kid and not be a millionaire.

4. Or where millionaires need an armored vehicle to get around in.

Because when you are a king and everyone else is a serf, you better keep your troop of bodygaurds close at hand.

Starving people haven't much to lose, as the French king found out to his lasting chagrin.

[DCKit]

5. His chagrin only lasted as long as his head was still attached to his body.

I believe he should have spent far more time in one of his own prisons, reflecting on monarchy as a form of government.

Then again, often it's a damn good idea to get rid of them fast, lest they make a comeback - as we're seeing in some M.E. countries, right now.
