Iowa Needs Another Education Summit

A new national figure on education needs to give us her thoughts. Preferably live and in person.

Iowa Governor Terry Branstad held an education summit this past summer and has released an education reform plan.

He needs to call another education summit.

Why?

Because President Obama has named Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll to a presidential commission on education for Hispanics, and we need to know what she thinks of the Governor's plan. Of course, Wyclef Jean just refers to the new commissioner as "Shakira, Shakira."
