The history is long and complicated, but some key points:

• State (esp Pawlenty admin) ends “Minnesota miracle,” lets state-level school funding bleed to death
• MFT (teachers’ union) had weak leadership, basically asleep at the switch until <5 years ago, is making up for 15 years of failing to strike when they should have
• Ed Graff (prev superintendent) was a nincompoop at best, total empty suit
• Local politics machinations around destroying public ed
