Gingrich should go back to his old history teacjing job at Tulane. I hear he was pretty good-probably the only job he was ever good at.

Industry Insider, Gingrich received his degree from Tulane, but he taught at two topnotch institutions -- Kennesaw State and West Georgia College.

Thanks, Reality Check. I forgot about those two Harvards of the South.

Let's hope that President Gingrich's education policy is not based on the title of his PhD dissertation from Tulane: "Belgian Education Policy in the Congo: 1945–1960".

It would be instructive for any incoming President to appreciate the educational policies of 'overseas'. You know, the ones that are teaching functional studies with practical applications, and those boring old subjects that might actaully translate innovation into job creation and ultimately wealth.
