Californians, here's crucial evidence of Marshall Tuck's record of failure

Marshall Tuck's Legacy of Failure and Bigotry: Data from his Green Dot and PLAS tenures.

Eli Broad's Marshall Tuck is a candidate for the California State Superintendent of Instruction seat in the June's election. Aside from his abject record of shutting down heritage language and ethnic studies programs, his tenure as "CEO" at both Green Dot Public [sic] Schools, and The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools (PLAS) was, as Professor Ravitch charitably put it, a "mediocre and unimpressive record". The truth is it's much worse than that. In researching for an article on Tuck, even I have been astonished by just how bad his schools fare. Green Dot Charter Corporation's trademark slogan cites preparing students to be "successful in college, leadership, and life" — clearly the former is not true. The data is so damning, that I'm publicizing it prior to writing my article. While it's still a work in progress, the numbers compiled already are remarkable. Here is the link to the spreadsheet. Please feel free to copy any and all of the information (it all comes from public sources to begin with) and let people know about this privatizer who claims to have "turned around" dozens of California schools.
