Tn Gov Bill Haslams appointees worked for the same law firm, changing the face of our state
TN Governor Bill Haslam hires Sharia Compliance expert Samar Ali, an Obama White House intern, who worked for the IAB (International Arab Bank) that funneled 90 million dollars to Hamas (Muslim Brotherhood) via 200,000 transactions totaling 90 million dollars while she worked there and implemented as co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial in New York, convicted, fined and several imprisoned.
A few months later, TN Governor Bill Haslam needs an Education Commissioner for the State of Tennessee, hires Kevin S. Huffman as the Secretary Commissioner of Education from the same law firm?
Hogan, Hartson and Lovells of which it was known till a merger renamed the firm Hogan and Lovells International.
Why is it that the Governor seems to find his candidates for office from the same controversial law offices.
Is this the only pool of which to pull new hirees from? Is this the only place to find a state leader? Why does he keep going to the same bank? Connections? Good ole boy network?
Does It have anything to do with his family company who relies heavily on middle eastern oil and has made billions from these transactions?
The liberal decline of our state only deepens knowing his latest appointee Kevin S. Huffman was married to Michelle Rhee and have two children in our TN school system. This seems like another benign decision till you view the implications.
Rhee is mockingly called the mother of extremist education reform, who happens to be anti union, pay based in merit pay, a pro charter school advocate that rids school systems of boards of education, who just happens to be implicated in the largest scandal in DC history as the Commissioner of Education.

The title of a fraud and a cheat is her legacy when dealing with raising school standards and she also happens to be a strong advocate for Common Core?
Have you noticed the recent acts by Huffman has Rhees fingerprint all over out state education policy pushed by Huffman and Haslam?
Michelle Rhee is also the CEO of Students First who seems to have many funds to pay off our elected officials to get her radical education reform ideas enacted.
State Representative Kevin Brooks and State Senator Todd Gardenhire have received 5,000 dollars each to their campaigns to implement school reform, ie, Common Core in Tennessee.
She is a little too close to the action for my comfort. Her money influence can only be led to believe that her ex husband and father of her children are influencing his decisions while giving her the inside track on spearheading radical education reform in Tennessee.
I’m sure Kevin Huffmans ears are hurting from his ex wife steering him in the direction she wants.
How can we allow State Representatives, State Senators and Governors to receive money while gambling on the lives and futures of our children.
This hiring of questionable characters by our Governor is irresponsible and leads to many decisions that we have not felt yet.
The idea that we must provide an environment for sharia compliance while radically reforming our educational system does not seem to be the direction our state needs to take.
Governor Bill Haslam, State Representative Kevin Brooks and State Senator Todd Gardenhire by big money proxy are allowing our state to be radically changed by progressives. You can easily see how the simple actions of a liberal governor and it’s elected leaders can change the environment in which we live?
You wanna get mad? Call them today and ask them “why did you
make a deal with the devil in exchange for your child’s soul?”
Read below to see the level of involvement of leaders in our state and their connection to this latest fad.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogan_%26_Hartson
“As a lawyer at the Washington D.C. law firm of Hogan & Hartson, Huffman represented school districts, state departments of education and universities, working on policy and litigation matters including challenges to state FINANCE (Sharia Compliance?) systems, desegregation litigation and special education hearings”

Haslam education reform refers to change in teacher pay, merit based pay.

Look what a little money from Students First CEO MIchelle Rhee can make a state rep say.
State Rep Kevin Brooks lauds Huffman and his visionary style.
Sure, it’s a tangled web we weave and of course our Governor “coincidentally” pulling our state leaders out of the same lawyer gene pool may seem benign and harmless, but look at the level of influence on our state these two hirees have had on our state……fundamentally changing our state as we speak.
This begs me to think how much more does this liberal progressive Governor have up his sleeve?
Who will be the next leader pulled from this cess pool of liberal elitist?

To the author,
If you really think these moves are in line with progressive politics, then I think you misunderstand the meaning of progressive. And if you think that Rhee and Huffman are liberal elitists, then you are also mistaken as to where liberal falls on the political spectrum.
That being said, and the semantics finished, I agree wholeheartedly, that Huffman, Rhee, and Haslam are wreaking havoc on our education in this state and will be responsible for reducing the competitiveness of our students and teachers especially as they try to enter universities or the job market. This strategy will only take Tennessee backwards and will only hurt our future generations.

Many don’t like to be called a progressive but the actions of our Governor meets the definition. They are acting in step with the liberal machine coming out of DC, which in my book pretty much makes them a progressive liberal elitist. In my opinion, you don’t need to be a Democrat to be one.
Definition of progressive (adj)
pro·gres·sive[ prə gréssiv ]
favoring reform:advocating social, economic, or political reform
progressing gradually:developing gradually over a period of time
becoming more severe:describes a disease that becomes more widespread or severe over time
Synonyms: left-winger, reformist, leftist
This pretty much meets the description.

I have heard there is a work session for the Bradley Co Board of Education on July 20th on the Lee University campus. Do you have any information regarding this? Will they discuss McDaniel’s contract extention? Is there an agenda? Any info would be welcomed. Thanks
