“I think we ought to talk about what’s good for the student from the day they’re born to the day they get the degree they want to get.”
This centralization of education in the state of Washington is ideal for our mega-statists to make sure none of that pesky Christian world-view gets through. The hook is perfect for our particular psycho-social moment what with the appeal to Pragmatism. It'll be more efficient and remove inequities, right?
All this busy kingdom building on Epiphany. But I confess that Jesus is building His Kingdom, not-withstanding my failures as bit, one each, in the fabric of God's Church.

He termed her plan “small, token change.” =] but the anti-Christ.
Reminds me of (Dana Carvey) doing the church lady. Twists mouth, "could it be... Satan?"
Sorry, I found it humorous
The title is provocative in the tradition of the media... I was hoping to have that little side effect of humor, but what I didn't elaborate on all the details.
Note this sentence: “Whatever bureaucratic organization exists will still exist,” Seigel said. “Savings from minor changes to the policy structure of the state is a drop into the proverbial ocean.”
On the surface this story is about the budget woes of the State of Washington. The way the various actors in this play react and speak betray their philosophy and intentions if given the chance. For example, the governor sees the "educational responsibility" as covering a citizen from birth through their college degree. If you consider that much of the formal education we receive is encrusted with propaganda and various toxic thought memes that are often purposely choreographed to maximize dependence upon the system and to create a slave (I mean 'good employee') mentality in the citizen, then I worry that too much government micro-management of the educational process will disallow local control of school districts and may be used as a tool for thought control.
