Is Education Above Our Differences?
Posted on: November 17, 2009
This past Sunday morning, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and former Democratic presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton appeared on Meet the Press to discuss the state and direction of our public schools.
During the tour, Rev. Al Sharpton said, “If we can come together on education, I think it’s an example to the kids that some things should be above our differences.” Newt Gingrich reiterated that sentiment on the air on Sunday. Referred to as a “political odd couple,” Gingrich and Sharpton are standing on common ground.
So I ask, “Is education above our differences?”
