Don Brash is famous for two things

By ToilandTrouble

  1. His willingness to use race in order to advance his campaign for political power in 2005, and:
  2. His ability to survive for many weeks on a diet of corned beef and frozen peas.

He is also an economist and we know how many of them it takes to change a light bulb (none, the darkness will cause the light bulb to change itself).  In sum he is overwhelmingly under-qualified to comment on educational matters.  That doesn't matter though because economists are immune to intellectual humility,  untroubled by their own ignorance and always ready to draw a crooked line from an unproved assumption to a forgone conclusion.
