Education Secretary Arne Duncan talked about the role of race and class in education, as well as the state of criminal justice in the U.S. He announced a new White House proposal to divert $15 billion of spending on the costs of incarceration to states willing to spend more money on teachers and support staff in schools serving the nation’s most troubled school districts. He responded to questions submitted from the audience in the National Press Club on a variety of education topics, including Congress’s stalled reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), best known as "No Child Left Behind". close
