Arne Duncan on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart

Arne Duncan appeared on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart last night and did great, defending Race to the Top, highlighting the urgency around improving the system, etc., despite VERY tough questions from Stewart (as opposed to the love-fest Stewart had with Ravitch last March: www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-march-3-2011/diane-ravitch).  Unfortunately, Stewart's mom is a teacher who's filled his head with union talking points, just like Matt Damon.  Here's the extended three-part interview: www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-february-16-2012/exclusive---arne-duncan-extended-interview-pt--1 (7:46); www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-february-16-2012/exclusive---arne-duncan-extended-interview-pt--2 (5:07); and www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-february-16-2012/exclusive---arne-duncan-extended-interview-pt--3 (5:32).
