Play of the Day: Barack Obama Wants At Least One Child Left Behind
Late-night television hosts were still processing Vermont Senator Bernie Sandersentrance into the 2016 race over the weekend. Real Time's Bill Maher joked about Sanders' socialist affiliation and his unique biography, while The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon showed video of a particularly uplifting speech.
Last Week Tonight's main story Sunday covered the practice of standardized testing in American schools. Host John Oliver looked at the federal mandates placed on schools by George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind plan, including comparing the program's name to loving a puppy.
Speaking of education, President Barack Obama visited a DC school last week and was interviewed by a student. The student cut the president off, promoting both Saturday Night Live and Fallon to joke about the kid's educational prospects after insulting the American leader.
