Bluegrass Institute on NBC affiliate's coverage of charter schools

Kudos to anchor Jennifer Horbelt of WPSD-TV, Paducah's NBC affiliate, for doing some good reporting on charter schools. Horbelt and a photographer traveled to a KIPP Academy in Nashville.



Watch and read the story here.

Watch my full interview with Horbelt here. The teachers union refused to grant Horbelt an interview, but the Bluegrass Institute happily made the trek to Paducah.

The KEA's probably too busy issuing threats that make cowardly politicians in Frankfort cower at the thought of losing the union's 30 pieces of silver, even if doing so would change the course of our neediest children.
