Taking it on the road

Now here's a combo: Arne Duncan, Newt Gingrich, and Al Sharpton are doing a four city tour to "stimulate discussion and community engagement around issues of education reform," as it says in the DoE press release. The schedule is:
  • Philadelphia on Sept. 29
  • New Orleans on Nov. 3
  • Baltimore on Nov. 13
Yes, I know that's only three; they're adding one (and maybe more).

You can watch Sharpton and Gingrich discuss it on this morning's Today show here.

So far, Gingrich is being cited praising Duncan's "openness" on charter schools, and Sharpton is talking about the achievement gap.
