If anyone needs further evidence that Students First is a misnamed organization, the announcement of Kit Crancer as the new director should provide it.
Crancer, who most recently worked for Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles County, is best known for his time as top aide to Sen. Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, who never met a public school or a public school teacher she liked.
Students First is the organization founded by Michelle Rhee, who ran the Washington, D. C. schools with an iron fist and fired hundreds of teachers. She was also pictured on the cover of Time Magazine with a broom indicating that she was sweeping bad teachers out of the schools.
Crancer replaces Lea Crusey, who left to take a job as deputy director of another misnamed organization Democrats for Education Reform.
