BREAKING AL SHARPTON NEWS!!!!!!!

Please sit down. Yes, find a seat and sit. You might want to pour yourself as stiff drink too. Ready?

Al Sharpton, the purveyor of antisemitism. The guy who gave you the Tawana Brawley hoax. The man who whored himself to Mayor Bloomberg and the education deformers. The man who only cares for the color green is coming to you on TV in October. Al Sharpton is hosting is own series on education. Entitled "The Education SuperHighway, it will target educators, parents, and students.

The press release; The Rev. Al Sharpton will host a weekly syndicated TV program focusing on education. ESH Holdings, a new minority-owned multimedia company, says the half-hour news and information magazine, called "Education SuperHighway," will target parents, educators and students. Hosted by the well-known civil rights leader, the show will provide a forum for discussing educational issues, with political, business and social leaders taking part. "Education SuperHighway" will debut on Oct. 10 in more than 160 U.S. markets. It will be taped in New York and Los Angeles.

We here at SBSB were curious. Several members of the crack investigative team have sworn that the Rev. Al has had a network series based on education in the past. We delved into the vaults of the Library of Congress, YouTube, and the Museum of Broadcasting. The crack team spent many an hour scouring videos, kinescopes, and audio to find that one show that Rev Al used to be on. Finally in the last several hours the crack team hit paydirt.

We now have a clip of the Rev Al in his less svelte days as a champion of education on the public airwaves.

Fooling Al Sharpton

One voice that keeps speaking out versus the evil that Bloom/Klein do to students is Juan Gonzalez of the Daily News. Thank God for journalists like him. Just pray that Mort Zuckerman doesn't kneecap him

Gonzalez had a quite interesting column in Friday's Daily News. Somehow, someway Gonzalez sees through the smoke and mirrors and realizes that it is not about Bloom/Klein, but about the children. That it is they are are being shortchanged. How it got published, which is in stark contrast to the Daily News' sycophantic editorial of the same day, I will never know.

But what caught my eye in Gonzalez' column is what Al Sharpton said in this whole imbroglio about the deception of Klein.

To promote his reforms nationwide, Klein even founded a nonprofit group last year with the Rev. Al Sharpton. They called it the Education Equality Project.

The new scores are so bad Sharpton has begun to distance himself from Klein. "I'm very disturbed and concerned by these scores," Sharpton said. "We were told students were improving, but it seems our kids were victims of dumbed-down tests to make the administration look good."

Al, you mean you are surprised? You feel used? Abused? This is strike two for you in trusting people. Logic dictates that you would have learned from the Tawana Brawley fiasco. Bit nooooooooooooooooo. You again fell hook, line, and sinker for the "I'll call you in the morning" line.

I know Al, you were thinking you were climbing up in society. That you were going legit hanging out with Klein and his ilk. Twenty years ago if Klein saw you in an elevator he would keep his wallet in his hand. But as Abbott and Costello learned in their movie, "In Society," you never make it into society. Basically you are Billy Ray Valentine in Klein's eyes and always will be.

But as I always say, why curse the darkness when one can light a candle. There is some good that can come out of this for Rev. Al. In fact he inspired yet another branching out into other media for us here at SBSB. Due to Rev Al being Rev Al we here have set up an acting troupe that from time to time act out scenarios that are relevant to what is going on in education.

So without further ado, put your hands together for the SBSB Players! For tonight's video we have the famed actor Tim Matheson playing Joel Klein, and in the role of Rev Al Sharpton, Stephen Furst. The scene is just after Rev Al (Furst) learned of the bogus score the last several years with Joel Klein (Matheson) comforting him the best he can.
