You have fallen for the propaganda, here, Warren. A lot of us on the Left have been opposed to that sort of stuff for a long time and the Right likes to push that crap in order to intentionally sabotage public schools and so then gives the Right an excuse to privatize the school system.
The Left's position is "Let's teachers teach, not politicians".
The left says a lot of things that don't actually work. Unless you eliminate the politicians entirely, which the left doesn't propose to do, public school teachers will always need to please the politicians.
