Sharpton and Carey, together at last

I'll be on the Reverand Al Sharpton show talking about class-based school integration policies, starting in about five minutes. I think you can listen here.

Update: The muzak you hear while on hold waiting for the Reverand? Tremendously funky.

Update 2: The first segment seems to have gone well. Good questions. Keeping it real!

Update 3: On to the callers! Jack from Baltimore says the public school system gets a lot of money but wastes it; we need higher standards, AP course, hold the administrators to account. Can't argue with that.

Update 4: Very frank conversations about parental involvement.

Update 5: The last caller veers toward some kind of FCAT conspiracy theory in Florida -- the easy tests go to some communities, the hard ones to others...but then the segment ends.

Summary: Good topic, interesting mix of callers, the Reverand Al was engaged and on point. Notice to producers and bookers: contact Education Sector for smart, well-informed guests!
