Matt Entenza, running a weak third in the DFL primary race, promised to release a “bold” “education” “plan”:

DFL gubernatorial candidate Matt Entenza Thursday will release a “a bold education plan,” his campaign said Wednesday.

He’ll talk about the plan on campaign stops in Duluth, St. Paul and Rochester.

Entenza, who is vying in a DFL primary, took a hit at Republican candidate Tom Emmer in making his Wednesday announcement.

“During his tour Entenza will highlight a basic premise: to make Minnesota great again, we need to make our schools great again. It is a concept that Tom Emmer has failed to grasp,” the campaign release said.

The swat at Emmer is the left’s latest meme, trying to drag Emmer into talking specifics so the left and media (pardon the redundancy), as we discussed yesterday.  

Of course, you won’t see Mark Dayton or Margaret Anderson-Kelliher releasing “plans”.  Entenza, trailing very badly in the race, has nothing to lose.

Except that when he says it’s going to be a “bold” plan, set your expectations accordingly.  Entenza was the founder of MN2020, a think tank that has, among other things, been effusive in supporting the Teachers Unions, and  in reinforcing our wretched status quo at the expense of any new, better ideas.

So I believe it’s a safe bet that Matt Entenza’s education plan will be “bold” only in the brazenness of its support for the status quo and demands that we peasants fall in line.
