The US Senate held a hearing on the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program today. Watch the video here.
The parent and student testimony is moving. You can't help but be touched when hearing these young people talk about what would've happened to them were it not for the program.
Kudos to Sen. Lieberman for chairing the meeting and Sens. Collins, Ensign, and Voinovich for their comments. ????Interestingly and sadly, Sen. Lieberman said that Mayor Fenty, Chancellor Rhee, and union leaders were invited to testify, and they all declined.
Big ups to Jeanne Allen from CER for her twittering (find her at JeanneAllen).
