When Arne Duncan was CEO of Chicago Public Schools he closed many public schools and replaced then with charter schools. Later, in 2009 he was Secretary of Education under Obama.

There is no word as to whether letters were sent out bashing Duncan.
But here's more about Obama's pick.

Arne Duncan attended the exclusive University of Chicago Lab Schools for grades K-12 and then went to Harvard and played pro basketball in Australia. After that, he set up a charter school funded by an investment firm (Ariel Investments). This apparently qualified him to become first an executive in, and then the head of, Chicago Public Schools in 2001 – so he was in sole control there for 8 years. As far as I can tell, his only experience with teaching was being a tutor for minority students. I have read that Duncan’s primary means for “success” in Chicago has been to close down a school, scatter all the staff, and IN FACT TO REPLACE MOST OF THE STUDENTS, TOO, start over and then claim success.
