Kyle is not impressed with Barack Obama's education proposals:

I'm very sad to see Barack Obama proposing educational reforms that still adhere to the flawed strategies that we've been stuck with for the last eight years. What we need is an entirely new outlook on education that emphasizes hiring and retaining highly qualified teachers and providing them the resources they need to teach students according to the best practices established by current research in education, not according to what the state test requires.

And Kyle is right.

It is important for many of us to remember that Barack Obama is far from perfect. And he is far from progressive on many, many issues.

Don't get me wrong. Barack Obama is a vastly better option than John McCain. And is vastly more progressive.

But he is wrong, or at least not good, on a lot of issues.
