Newt Gingrich: Virginia school issues, election offer lessons for Republicans everywhere

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News’ "The Ingraham Angle" on Thursday night, where he explained why he thought the school issues in Virginia revealing insights about American voters.

NEWT GINGRICH: I think that’s a lesson for Republicans everywhere: People care about children. People care about education. People know that the government-employee unions and the government schools are not succeeding.

I think if we were prepared to be more bold and more aggressive, we’d be shocked how many – we just did a series of polls at a project I’m doing, called the American Majority Project and we found among African-Americans a deep resentment of this effort by the Left to eliminate grades, to eliminate quality, to eliminate programs of excellence because they thought it was cheating their children.
