Superman v. Education Unions
Rachel Sheffield /
Today, the much-talked-about film Waiting for Superman will make its premier.
The movie, produced by David Guggenheim, reveals the gridlock created by school district bureaucracy, apathetic teachers, and teachers’ unions.
According to reviews, the movie graphically displays how a broken school system is failing America’s children, leaving them in failing schools with little hope for a promising future. Reports William McGurn in The Wall Street Journal:
It’s one thing to talk about “failing schools.” It’s another to see a man standing in the hallway of Alain Leroy Locke Senior High School in south Los Angeles, noting that 40,000 of the 60,000 children who came through here since it opened in 1967 failed to graduate.
