Newt proposes online course taught from WH

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has a Ph.D. in History, suggested that an education group should teach an online course out of the White House designed to aid the president in educating Americans about public policy issues.

“I’ve talked to people at Kaplan and elsewhere about [how] ‘could you teach an online course from the White House?'” Gingrich said during an interview today with the Des Moines Register. “‘Could you say to people I want to outline for you the challenges that I think we’re faced with, I’d like your input, I’d like you to help us get there?'”
