Sens. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) pressed Duncan on a
proposal for interventions such as replacing at least half the teachers in a
struggling school, or converting it to a charter school. The options, Enzi said,
"seem to be urban-centered [and] may not work in many areas of Wyoming."

"Urban-centered"? Does this mean mass teacher firings, school closings, and privatization are OK for them--you know who they are--but not for us? What's the difference between the negative impact of Duncan's "reform" on rural areas and its impact on "urban-centered" Central Falls?
Yes, of course. Urban is code for black and brown. Duncan should call it a "black and brown print."
