California primaries show Democratic divide on education Posted: 06 Jun 2012 04:22 PM PDT (Reuters) - Democratic candidates backed by teachers unions narrowly lost on Tuesday in two California state assembly primary races that highlighted a bitter split in the Democratic Party over education policy. The most contentious race was in Assembly District 46, a heavily Democratic swath of Los Angeles suburbs. Wealthy philanthropists, hedge-fund managers and internet entrepreneurs - bound together by a common goal of overhauling public education - spent an eye-popping $1.4 million to bolster the candidacy of Brian Johnson, a Democrat who until recently ran a network of charter schools. ... |

What Romney's Education Plan Means for College Students Posted: 06 Jun 2012 07:52 AM PDT In addition to providing must-watch late night television, student debt continues to play a role in the presidential election.

Jon Stewart Takes a Whiff of Wisconsin and It Stinks Posted: 06 Jun 2012 05:52 AM PDT The Daily Show, like the cable news programming it mocks, got local last night and took a close look at the Wisconsin recall election. Reluctantly turning to cable's talking heads to learn "what's at stake," Jon Stewart finds out that had Scott Walker not been reelected he would have suffered one of "the worst indignities for an elected official" and that Wisconsin will be on a verge of becoming as freedomless as China at the hands of teachers' unions.
