What Would It Take To Get More Education Coverage?

You want to know just how unimportant education issues are in the current political and journalistic scene?  Note that the past week's kerfluffle ("Voucher-bama"?) has so far generated zero interest from the mainstream media (Google News) and not much more from the political blogs.  This at a time when it doesn't take much to get a story going (Michelle Obama "hates America" for example).  Clinton didn't use the voucher thing against Obama last night.  And voucher opponents and Obama supporters may be heaving a sigh of relief.  But don't think that this is an example of journalistic wisdom, either.

Don't feel bad Russo. At least your Obama-supports-vouchers bulls**t made it into the NY Sun.

As a public school teacher, I've been following your blog for a few months now. After doing so, I rest comfortably knowing that your views have nothing to do with maintaining quality public schools in America. You, sir, have you head burried so far up your ass that you really don't know shit about schools or what's going in inside of them. There, I feel better now.
