Among the high stakes in the upcoming election is the future of American education. On the first half of this show, national head of the NEA Dennis Van Roekel talks about what’s necessary for our secure economic future and about the two highly divergent American attitiudes on public education.
And on the second half, it’s Michael Winship who is senior writer of the public television series Moyers & Company and its website, BillMoyers.com. He is also a senior writing fellow at the think tank Demos. The subject is the very real spectre of plutocracy replacing democracy.
