"We Can't Wait" Speech by President Obama - This Wed. in Denver, CO

President Obama will be giving a speech entitled, "We Can't Wait," this coming Wed. in Denver, CO. In this speech he'll tell the American people that he's going to bypass Congress. Moreover, I've learned that he will be announcing executive action that will help people struggling with federal student loans and those who have lost their homes through foreclosures. Let's hope it has meat, and that the solutions he offers can be applied to private student loan debt as well.

May the determination of Education Policy some day be the result of careful democratic discourse that takes into account both the findings of research and a core set of shared beliefs about the importance of education for the cultivation of a democratic public.
