The corporate big-wigs are part of an effort that they and the media misleadingly call "school reform." What they're really after is not "reform" (improving our schools for the sake of students) but "privatization" (business control of public education). They think public schools should be run like corporations, with teachers as compliant workers, students as products, and the school budget as a source of profitable contracts and subsidies for textbook companies, consultants, and others engaged in the big business of education.The One Percent are targeting a defender of local control over schools in his district, and are pouring money in to influence the election of a privatization candidate.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
