Knox County Schools Superintendent Roy Mullins responds [1] to yesterday's KNS editorial [2] that demeaned Knox County Teachers and criticized a plan to enhance their retirement benefits.

Mullins says "I take exception to the opinion expressed in the editorial" that is "clearly written from a position of ignorance concerning the Knox County school system’s budget, and it misrepresents an initiative that is designed to help keep certified teachers in our classrooms every day and in our school system for a career."

It also sounds like a page from the GOP playbook -- constant attacks on teacher's unions and public education to promote private school vouchers for rich kids instead of making public schools better for everyone.
