Reign of Error

the Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools
Dec 13, 2013StarGladiator rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
[Update 3/15: A short time ago the Gates Foundation awarded a grant to Cornell University to propagandize on behalf of GMOs. Whether commodifying education, or food, it's all about privatization!] A great book, albeit a bit too low-key for this ancient radical. Ravitch explains fundamentally how they are defunding public education, while redirecting taxpayer monies to private sector profit, the underlying foundation of everything regarding privatization today in America! Amazing that President Obama would make such a hypocritical speech at the funeral for Nelson Mandela, while just a year or so ago the president, on national television, publicly lauded the mass firing of every teacher in a Chicago high school, ostensibly because of the so-called behavior of just several teachers there! (All those teachers were later reinstated when they won a wrongful termination lawsuit!) All for the sleazy privatization - - or defunding - - of the American school system, and destruction of the few remaining unions around today, the teachers' unions. [Everytime an EB5 visa person comes here, the money spent on their visa is directed into charter schools fund.]
