Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the ralliers gathered at Dunbar High School that education is the civil rights issue of this generation. "Parents turn off the television. Educators we have to stop making excuses," he said. "The dividing line in our coutry today is less around white and black and more about educational opportunity. We've been too satisfied with second class school."
He made no mention of the large rally Glenn Beck held on the National Mall.

HAHAHAHAHA, the left HATES Arne Duncan. HATE is actually an understatement. Loathe, despise, view with absolute hostility, etc, are all better terms.
