Interview with Steven Brill, the author of "Class Warfare"

TJ Walker interviews Steven Brill at DL21C's Education Committee meeting. Brill is the founder of Court TV and a brilliant media entrepreneur, who recently authored "Class Warfare.

Brill's compelling and contentious narrative of the push for education reform that has accelerated rapidly in town halls, in state capitals, and on Capitol Hill in recent years following President Obama's Race to the Top contest. Brill tackles hotly debated questions about how to measure teacher competency and set salaries, the role of teachers' unions, the struggle within the Democratic Party between reformers and old-school union loyalists, and policies like last in, first out that require that teachers get laid off based purely on seniority rather than performance. All that and more in "Class Warfare" by Steven Brill.
