"Their aim is to paint themselves as bold challengers to the current system and to claim that defenders of public education lack the vision or courage to endorse meaningful change."

I cannot, for the life of me, think who that sounds like. I do not blame anyone for taking that attitude though. It is the easy one to take. People disagree with your ideas therefore they must be the product of a represive system, following the herd, boring or just plain stupid. It is much easier to believe that than to accept that your ideas may not be as good as you thought.
