In October, 2008, as head of the Chicago Public Schools, Duncan recommended the district open its first high school specifically designed for gay, lesbian and transgender teens, saying, "If you look at national studies, you see gay and lesbian students with high dropout rates...Studies show they are disproportionately homeless...I think there is a niche there we need to fill." [1]
Also in October, 2008, Ken Rolling, the former executive director of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and associate director of the Woods Fund, both of which organizations were founded or chaired at some time by controversial figure Bill Ayers, was cited in Education Week as countering claims that the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was a failure by asserting that the project helped shape Duncan's agenda, especially related to improving teacher quality.

Cases have been cited as they appear and published on the web, which makes all materials of concern available to the public seeking information and in the public domain. A book is about to be published concerning the fraud. A news article already exists and newspaper(s) will also be caring this story and the cover up. Various websites which are coving these cases exist and more materials for actual quotes are also being posted. The school with others has attempted to gag anyone who speaks. Removing it furthers the coverup.

Actually, there are and I have linked to one of the news papers covering the story in portland, oregon where the school is located. I have also linked to the published court sites, which happen to be public in nature as a matter of standard course. Thus, there is no privacy issues, which have not already been published or previously made available to the public. All these are searchable records, with documents that can be downloaded. Also, a book is about to be published concerning Steve Korch, the school, feds, accreditors and about this case will be placed on the web and in print (I have not linked to that yet, but will). There are various other sites being worked on (one which was linked to the wiki previously) which is posting ALL the documentation from feds, state, accreditors, school and plaintiffs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ka7hvz ( talk • contribs) 10:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
In January, 2005, Arne Duncan became majority owner of Wisconsin Cheeseman, a prominent mail-order and retail cheese and novelty outlet. As such, Duncan has a cheese named after him called the Duncanter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackson72 ( talk • contribs) 06:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Arne Duncan has come under frequent criticism from community and parent groups for the closing and turnaround of neighborhood schools following lack of support from the Chicago Board of Education. Despite large-scale protest against 19 school closings at the February 27, 2008 board meeting, at Duncan's request, the Board voted unanimously to close the schools.

Researchers such as the University of Illinois at Chicago have also questioned why under Duncan minority children have been directly toward military schooling. As of 2009, Chicago will have six of the 17 high school military academies in the country.

I just saw a story on TV a few minutes ago about child abuse in the Chicago Public Schools. Reportedly, there are about 600 confirmed cases of children being physically abused by teachers in the Chicago Public Schools, but only about 20 teachers have been "separated." Obviously, if he did not do everything within his power to protect children while he was the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, he needs to be fired from his current position as Education Secretary. What did he know? 206.251.3.202 ( talk) 21:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
What does basketball have to do with this article? None of his basketball achievements are particularly notable. It merely serves as a lead in to his acquaintance with Obama. There are literally thousands of basketball players who've gone to play semi-professional basketball in other countries (and thousands of minor league baseball players) who don't get Wiki pages extolling what great players they are. Who cares if he scored 20 points in a basketball game once and someone on the other team scored 15 points. I fear for Education in this country if a 20 point game and a pickup game with Michael Jordan are his best attributes. This article needs a re-write. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.103.179 ( talk) 04:54, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

If this is going to be a bio then it should present the views and balanced picture of the man. Obama picked him because of his ideological orientation such as views on gay and lesbian high school. He is not a mainstream American and there in the minds of most Americans is very dangerous for progressive views on education in re to re-creating history of the country and its values in text books, drugs, gays, etc. This is a shabby article.

Without very good sources supporting its notability, we will not allow links to a petition calling for this subject to resign his office. (And even with such sources, we probably still wouldn't allow links to the petition itself.) ElKevbo ( talk) 15:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
There's been a bit of an edit war gong on today between User:68.113.25.188 and User:ElKevbo regarding the insertion of the following into the Criticisms section:
In January 2012, an online petition began circulating demanding Duncan's removal from office and substantial changes to the Obama administration's education policy: http://dumpduncan.org.[16]
It seems sourced, although the inclusion of an external link in the article body is inappropriate. I'm bringing the issue here for these two editors (and anyone else interested) to discuss, in order to gain consensus. Yunshui 雲 水 15:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
After a bit of consideration, I have blocked the IP for edit warring over content that fails BLP. ElKevbo's reverts fall under a 3RR exemption, and he has been making a good-faith effort to engage editors in discussion about this dispute, so no block is necessary there. In order for this content to be included in the article, it needs to cite a reliable source. -- Chris (talk) 16:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
