The pro-Evil Candidate

Washington's former Superintendent of Public Instruction, Judith Billings, is threatening to campaign to get her old job back with the apparent support of the Washington Education Association:

It's no secret, said political consultant Cathy Allen, that both the WEA and Billings have been looking for candidates to challenge [incumbent Superintendent Terry] Bergeson, as have some members of the state Parent Teacher Association.

The WEA did not endorse Bergeson this year, citing concerns about her support for a charter-schools bill that passed this spring and about the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL).

Billings, however, recently won the WEA's "Friend of Education Award."

When the WEA says the worst thing you can do is to support parental choice and accountability then the E in WEA doesn't stand for "Education", it stands for "Evil". Rewrite that last quote to read:
Billings, however, recently won the WEA's "Friend of Evil Award."
