The Education Superhighway and Jail Time for Parents of Failing Students?

The Education Superhighway is a newly created weekly television show that focuses on education and which is hosted by Rev. Al Sharpton with Jane Nolar. The debut of the program was Oct 10, 2010 in more than 160 U.S. markets.

Today we will discuss the first broadcast and discuss education as a civil right as suggested by Rev. Sharpton and others.



We will also discuss the proposal by a Wayne County, Michigan prosecutor to jail the parents of failing students. If parents of students performing poorly in school do not attend at least one Parent/Teachers conference, should they face three days jail time as proposed by Wayne County (Detroit) Prosecutor Kym Worthy unless the parent/parents have health issues?

Aiyana's death has touched many people across the country and on Saturday, June 26, 2010 a march will be held in Detroit starting at Grand Circus Park and ending outside City Hall. The "REDEEM AIYANA’S DREAM; MARCH FOR JUSTICE" is sponsored in part by Unison Pentecostal Church and its pastor, Rev. Omar Wilks will join us today to discuss the march, no-knock warrants and violence against children by those who are charged with protecting them.
