Cheerful News @ U. S. Dept. of Education

That we found in the Washington Post, no less. “The man President Trump has tapped for the critical job of chief of civil rights in the Education Department is the president of a Jewish center for human rights who has been critical of campus supporters of a Palestinian-led campaign to divest from Israel and who previously served in the George W. Bush administration,” Valerie Strauss write in The Post. “Kenneth L. Marcus of Virginia is being nominated as assistant secretary for civil rights at the education agency, taking over the same responsibilities that he filled under Bush and that have been carried out for months in an acting capacity by the controversial Candice Jackson.”

We’ve know Ken for years: He’s a brilliant man and a class act.
