Calling the bluff?
"Stupid in America" hit a nerve. And then...
At RealClearPolitics.com, John Stossel tries to take this challenge:
"Randi Weingarten, head of New York City's union, took the microphone and hollered, 'Just teach for a week!' She said I could select from many schools. 'We got high schools, we got elementary schools, we got junior high schools!'"
"I accepted. I even said I'd let the union pick the school. I thought I'd learn more about how difficult teaching is. Above all, it was a chance to get our cameras into schools -- something the N.Y. bureaucracy had forbidden -- so we could show you what was really going on."
