Thread Name: Death of Education?
Subject: RE: Death of Education?
Here's the bottom line. Well-heeled Republicans want to gut public education.
1. They want private schools they can control. A. Rick Perry in Texas B. Phylis Schafly pops up in their history books. C. No attention given to organized labor in the recent school history texts. D. Distortion of the Civil Rights Movement E. De-emphasizing the humanities and promoting technology and business.
2. If the public is dumbed-down, they will accept low paid jobs for rich bosses.
3. if the Rethugs can bring in charter schools, they can make money from them just like they do with privatized prisons.
4. Scott Walker is a stooge for the Koch Brothers, Wrong-wing billionaires and the lot of them are dictators and opposed to democracy. This is why Walker is punishing public school teachers.
5. "First they came for the school teachers and intellectuals."
