After reviewing shows on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, Media Matter found that segments covered
substantial education policy issues — school reform, teacher tenure, the Common Core State Standards, school choice, early childhood education and guns in schools — but typically failed to include educator input.
Save for a few NAACP branches (including its affiliate in Connecticut, have stepped up in the discussions over Gov. Dan Malloy's school reform effort, and advocated on behalf of Bridgeport mother Tanya McDowell, who will serve five years for trying to provide her child with a high - quality school), the nation's oldest civil rights group offers nothing
substantial on addressing
issues such as ending Zip Code
Education policies, expanding school choice, addressing childhood illiteracy, and revamping how teachers are recruited, trained, paid, and evaluated (especially when it comes to bringing more black men into the teaching profession).
