Rev. Al Sharpton, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Former Speaker of the House, Republican Newt Gingrich
Things must really be as bad on the education front, as I’ve been saying for the last couple of years. What! You don’t think being ranked 24th globally is too bad?
Well . . .
With the current administration throwing BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars at the problem, an unlikely trio met with the Prez and his Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, on Thursday at the White House.
Believe it or not, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Rev. Al Sharpton, and the Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, actually joined forces to work on solving the terrible education problems in the USA.
All three men are members of Sharpton’s nonprofit Education Equality Project and are calling the crisis in education “the nation’s #1 concern”.
The combination of politicos from both parties is astounding, but points out how serious education problems are across the entire country.
As Gingrich was quoted as saying, he’s willing to work with anyone who commits to “putting children first, putting learning first and getting the job done in the next two or three years.”
Think I’ll contact his office about the REAL answer!
