4. Sadly, no
The Newtster actually proposed that schools fire their janitors and hire low-income kids to come in and clean under the supervision of a, get this, janitor. I'm guessing that logic is not Newt's strong point. Certainly history isn't, in spite of his PhD in the subject.

NO, his PhD was a Doctorate in Philandering.

7. shows how out of touch he is --he doesn't realize how few janitors there are to replace!
even if the idea was a good one!
