That is wishful thinking. He did not make such statements. Read the  
article again. What he is quoted as saying shows little to no  
understanding of what schools are supposed to achieve, of what public  
service is and of what unions are. Maybe he is smarter than what the  
article says as a citizen, I hope so.
