AFT NCLBlog

Inside Higher Ed is reporting that Education Secretary Margaret Spellings will be on the Daily Show tomorrow. US News' Paul Bedard has that info -- and the news that Sec. Spellings was in the audience of a recent American Idol show.

A fan of Melinda Doolittle, Sec. Spellings wasn't aware of the Byzantine nature of the voting on American Idol until recently, and she is "shocked over the Melinda situation." Rumor has it that Sec. Spellings is forming a task force to make sure future AI voting is free of corruption and cronyism.
