That tweet is from Colorado state Sen. Evie Hudak, a Democrat.<\/p>\n

She is calling out liberal Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., who called education analyst Diane Ravitch the “e-word” in a tweet he later deleted. Snapshot of the deleted tweet via Politwoops<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“[Don’t] know if I can bring myself to read another book from that evil woman who is doing such harm to public education,” he tweeted Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.<\/p>\n

From Polis’ tweet, you might think Ravitch is a hard-right conservative. Not exactly. Her new book is titled, “Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America’s Public Schools<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

She does, however, deviate<\/a> from the Obama Administration on some issues, such as the Common Core state standards. And that’s why, in Polis’ view, she is not only mistaken but profoundly immoral.<\/p>\n

Independent thinking must not be tolerated!<\/p>\n

Weingarten, president of the AFT, pushed back:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/rweingarten\/status\/380459080822689793\n

Others weighed in, demonstrating that there are some things most people can agree on:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/davidsirota\/status\/380515429648957440\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/Elana_Brooklyn\/status\/380678603614081025
