Recording Artist & Philanthropist John Legend To Bill Maher: "You're Wrong On Education"
The Daily Beast delivers a retaliatory letter from recording artist and philanthropist John Legend to Bill Maher, in response to Maher's prescription for saving education to "fire the parents, not the teachers". Maher is the provocative host of HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher." To view Maher's video rant w/related story, link here to previous The Daily Riff story or check out video below.
Maher has met a formidable opponent on this one since Legend has done some amazing extensive work in education and is not just an arm-chair observer. The Daily Riff covered Legend's most recent high-profile visit on Morning Joe with "Scarborough & Brzezinski Zero In On Excellence" with link here, with story surrounding the success of the Harlem Village Academies.
It's usually entertaining to watch Maher, and while his parent rant had some truth to be imparted to parents, it was just fun with Maher's typical snarky-style, which he pulls off well most of the time (can't say that for most snark). With that being said, his no-holds-barred rhetoric
