Strange story. No data or rationales, just politicos posturing that they are in favor of change. Arguments for schools that create better workers, but no argument for schools the create better citizens. Black advocacy for charter schools when they have a reputation of enhancing segregation. The only attendee being consistent was Gingrich who wants to privatize everything.

This is an interesting blog post on the meeting of disparate political big wigs on education. While the author quoted the three in attendance: Newt Gingrich, Michael Bloomberg and Rev. Al Sharpton, he failed to get a statement from the Obama administration, a key point considering the meeting was held at the White House with Obama himself. Also, this piece reads more like a news story than a blog. I'm curious what the author thinks about this meeting and whether or not it did any good?

This story is too short to be of much interest.

Nothing much here. A routine political meeting. Perhaps Obama invited Gingrich to keep Sharpton busy.
