Whitney Tilson's School Reform Blog: 3 of 4 candidates for R.I. governor back Gist, Race to the Top

Below is an article about the Rhode Island governor's race, with comments from a friend:

This is a critically important race -- it is now abundantly clear that if Chafee is elected governor in RI, he will stop education reform here dead in its tracks. That's why he has the strong endorsements of both the NEA and the AFT. Caprio (D, supporter of ed reform) and Chafee (R-now-I, opposes reform) are running neck-in-neck. We must do everything we can here to get Caprio elected or we risk setting back all the progress we have made. Those interested in helping can donate or learn more about Caprio at http://www.frankcaprio.com/.

Chafee is, I believe, the first candidate for office who wants to give back or "alter" RTTT. Unbelievable!
