原文：

Policymakers turned their focus to public education as a matter of national security, one too important (and potentially too profitable) to entrust to educators. The notion that top-down decisions by politicians, not teachers, should determine what children need was a thread running through the bipartisan 2001 No Child Left Behind Act, the Obama administration’s Race to the Top and state-initiated Common Core standards, and the current charter-driven agenda of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

译文：

政策制定者聚焦公共教育，将其视同于国家安全，其过于重要（也可能是太有利可图），因此不能全权委托教育者。自上而下参与决策的是政治家，而非老师，这一概念应确定孩子需要的是一个线程过程，两党发布的《2001年不让一个孩子掉队法案》、奥巴马政府的《竞选》和国家《共同核心标准》，以及当前教育部长贝琪·德沃斯特许议程来都是参考。
