(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
Parental choice supporters Gerard Robinson and Bret Schundler have been appointed to lead the Departments of Education in Virginia and New Jersey respectively.
Buckle up- this is going to be fun. Robinson is the President of the Black Alliance for Educational Options.

Both Robinson and Schundler are outstanding people deeply committed to improving opportunity for students. Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war!
