I'm actually assuming the reporter is paraphrasing in a way that is not fair, but who knows? The local Fox station in Washington has a web version of a story summarizing the latest battle over Chancellor Michelle Rhee's attempts to get legislative permission to actually supervise the educrats who work for her.
They have this paragraph included:
Washington Teachers' Union vice president Nathan Saunders says money should be used to serve children, not to fire administrators.
Come on! There's no way he said something that asinine!
