Duncan, Gingrich, Sharpton Meet the Press Nov. 15

Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, Al Sharpton and Gingrich have been working on education reform for a few months now. Newt Gingrich is losing his Tea Party cred aligning with the Obama administration on education. I'm surprised he's hanging in. Newt says kids need to know first that they have a future.
The new racism is low expectations, says Sharpton. Duncan says the Department of Education has been part of the problem.
They all agree bad teachers are a problem too. I'd say bad teachers are the heart of the problem.
This is the full broadcast. Hillary's up first and then Duncan, Sharpton and Gingrich talk education reform.
