The right wing destruction of public schools (and SOME libs are complicit in this)

[Sarah Ibarruri]

Under the guise of reform, "they" push austerity, polarization, privatization, union-busting, and deprofessionalization. The very things they have done to destroy our country, they have been doing to public schools for decades.

1. They spread the BS on more than the reform front................

and are not above fighting dirty.

Should Your Kids Know How to Bug Out…from School?

There are many alarming trends throughout the American public school system, and one of the most unsettling relates to “terror drills.”

Be afraid.
Be very afraid.
Hate those unions.

Profitised will be safer!

Amazing how people are damn fool enough to buy this snake oil.

2. You know, I'm a skeptic, but these preppers are in serious need of psychological help

Right wingnuts gave the green light to every demented fascist this side of the big lake.

3. Privatizing done with

maximum lunatic hypocrisy is all about corruption, lessening the need to deliver the product, making the raped institution worthwhile for fellow sharks to frenzy over, theft, fraud and the inevitable evil of turning anything good on its head- with all the attendant evils like inequality, brainwashing and ignorance leaving nothing standing but administration of the lucre.

Funneled to supporting "public" officials, the snake devouring its own tail.

5. Wow, Catherina, that's an amazing article! Thanks! nt

7. I knew you'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the work you're doing on this. I wish more people cared because we're going to pay a high high price for killing our schools and we won't be able to undo the damage in less than a full generation.

8. Thank you for your work as well. The Republicans have an excellent propaganda machine

and a few libs have fallen prey to it. It burns me up.

9. the repukes and the Turd Way (including the president's pals Duncan and Rhee) are

determined to make US education like US health care - most expensive and worst in the world. The half-trillion dollar-per-year corporate giveaway that is the ACA will be dwarfed by the education profitization act. When you have a Dem DOE pushing Jeb Bush's education plan, it's time to bar the doors, because hell is coming to breakfast.

10. Yes, it's being destroyed with the same corporate tactics used on the rest of the U.S. nt
