Colbert Talks Education with Rev. Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton returned to The Colbert Report last night to discuss the problems of our public education system. Personally, I went to public school and I think the system is just fine. I got a fine education, and I would say the same is true for at least 75% of my classmates. As for the other 45%, well, there are always going to be those who fall by the wayside. It's just a fact of life, like witches. Trying to change it would be like trying to stop the universe from revolving around the Earth.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.
