Friends in High Places

For this post, I wanted to find media personalities that support the efforts of educators.  For the past couple of months education has come under attack.  Unions that protect poor teachers to charter schools that wear superhero costumes for disadvantaged children in impoverish parts of the country have had their time in the media spotlight.  I think that it is funny that people who have never set foot in a classroom as a teacher are making such big decisions about its future.
A friend at work showed me some clips from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.  It was refreshing to see that someone from the media can analyze government practices objectively.  Below are the links to a couple of clips.  Please feel free to share them with other educators.  I would like to start a list of others in the media who support our efforts, if you know of anyone, please let me know.
