| Rev. Jim Wallis: Glenn Beck Is Wrong, Social Justice Is At The Heart Of Gospel (VIDEO) Posted: 12 Mar 2010 10:43 PM PST  Christian author and social justice advocate Rev.

| Bill Maher: New Rule: Let's Not Fire the Teachers When Students Don't Learn -- Let's Fire the Parents Posted: 12 Mar 2010 04:43 PM PST  New Rule: Let's not fire the teachers when students don't learn - let's fire the parents. Last week President Obama defended the firing of every single teacher in a struggling high school in a poor Rhode Island neighborhood. And the kids were outraged. They said, "Why blame our teachers?" and "Who's President Obama?" I think it was Whitney Houston who said, "I believe that children are our future - teach them well and let them lead the way."
