This Week on Due Process
Just last week, Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg posted his take on his $100 million gift to Newark schools. While acknowledging "mistakes (and) lessons learned," Zuckerberg pointed to resulting gains and successes.
But if you want the inside story on the touted "transformation" that failed, you'll want to catch this week's "Due Process."
An opening mini-doc traces the five year history of the Zuckerberg gift, the fight for control of education in Newark, and the ongoing competition between district schools and charter schools.
In the studio: Ras Baraka, a former high school principal, now the outspoken mayor of Newark;Mary Bennett, who chairs the committee charged with easing the transition from state to local control, and Dale Russakoff, author of "The Prize," the definitive story of the $100 million experiment, which began five years ago with a much-heralded announcement on "Oprah."
We hope you'll join us!
