To charter school or not to charter school?  As the new school year kicks off, we talk to Brian Jones, a NYC public school teacher James Merriman, CEO of NYC Center for Charter School Excellence and Christian Roselund, a New Orleans-based writer and education advocate about the choice.

We'll also be joined by writer & illustrator Josh Neufeld.  His beautiful new graphic novel 'AD: New Orleans After the Deluge' tells the stories of 7 survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

Then, Laura talks with Nation Columnist Katha Pollitt about poetry and the dangers of truth serving evil.

Finally, can you imagine a world without fish?  You may not have to soon.  In this week's Got Docs? we take a peak at Barbara Ettinger's A Sea Change.  

Thanks to RH Reality Check and Hunter Stuart for video in tonight's show.
