Here is another WSJ editorial about friction in the Democratic party regarding education reform.
Highlights:
House Democrats last month passed a spending bill that gutted funding for the President’s $4.3 billion Race to the Top competition, which rewards reform-minded states with education grants. Lawmakers removed the provisions only after a veto threat from the White House.

“I think there’s a new leadership in the black community, and we’re not wedded to the [teachers] unions calling our shots,” [Mr. Sharpton] said.
