True. Thanks for passing it along. She takes a soft-pawed kittenish swipe at the odious Arne Duncan, which is nice.
On the other hand -- 10 first-person pronouns in the first hundred-odd words.
Then there are the indigestible lumps of bureaucratese:
"... does not rigorously engage a policy agenda that embraces children as part of nutritionally and recreationally deficient communities."
It's always fun to see how people in squishy soft academic specialties love to use the word "rigor".
Oh, and she likes the word "harbinger" but doesn't appear to know what it means.
I daresay it'll all be downhill from here. Bets, anybody?
