Co-creator of TV show Glee thanks public school teachers in Golden Globes acceptance speech
Edited on Sun Jan-16-11 10:24 PM by alp227
Just heard this a few minutes ago when the Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy Series. It was Ian Brennan, co-creator of Glee. In this era when the Obama administration is engaging in union-busting in the name of "reform" this should be a positive contrast to the current political hijacking of public education.

4. update to include Brennan's exact words
"I just want to say thank you to public school teachers. You don't get paid like it, but you're doing the most important work in America."

8. Hooray!! Off message, but well deserved!!
The corporate-backed public-school-teacher bashing is spreading like a virus. It's so refreshing to hear the truth for a change!
