I know the mayor doesn't have direct authority over education, but no way do I want a board member of Teach for America--Samuels--in the mayor's office.

That said, I like Samuels a lot in other ways--love his story about his vocal group in Jamaica.

"Co-op War" Factions Face Off Outside Mill City Foods, Minneapolis, 1976Tensions between two competing factions in the Twin Cities food cooperative movement turned violent on January 9, 1976, when several members of the “Co-op Organization,” or “CO,” assaulted two workers at Minneapolis’s Seward Community Co-op. The CO was a group of politically-motivated activists dedicated to serving the interests of the working class. Opposing them were the more loosely organized “whole foods” folks who wanted to provide healthful and socially-responsible alternatives to the big grocery stores. The take-over at Seward was brief and helped galvanize opposition to the CO and its methods. By the end of the decade, it was clear that “hippy,” whole food types had defeated the “Marxists” in what are now known as the Twin Cities co-op wars.
