08/21/07 Cummings, Schools, Republicans, and Israel/Palestine

Today we bring you four fascinating interviews.

• Congressman Elijah Cummings joins us to discuss the Iraq War and more.
• We talk to Principal Susan Burgess and teacher Tracy Larkins from George Washington Elementary, a Baltimore City school that is having great results on standardized testing.  What are they doing right?
• Our old friend Richard Vatz, Professor at Towson and Associate Psycology Editor of USA Today Magazine, stops by to discuss his recent editorial about Republicans and 2008 politics.
• And finally, we talk to Rabbi Arik Ascherman and his wife Rabbi Einat Ramon (the first Israeli-born female Rabbi) about the human rights work they do in Israel and Palestine.

Enjoy!
