So now that the innovation is taking taxpayer money to fund private companies to run schools....that is to the shame of those allowing it.

I believe Jon Stewart was way too easy on her. I believe all interviewers go easy for the same reason they went easy on Sarah Palin....her "followers" make life hard on anyone who speaks out.
Of course the truth is that education has had too much "innovation" by too many people who are not educators. I thought he used that as a hypothetical, but I am not going to watch the thing again to prove it. It is not worth seeing her face or hearing her voice.
