PIC: Quote from corporate ed reformer "Democrat"

[yurbud]

If Democratic Party politicians want to widen Hillary's lead, they might inspire their base of teachers by repudiating groups like this and the bipartisan, corrupt, privatization of public education that diverts tax dollars meant for educating our kids into the pockets of hedge fund managers and for profit corporations.

Worst of all, like everything Wall Street does, they could be creating a bubble that pops, screwing your kids out of a decent neighborhood school to attend, or even out of any school at all, as is already happening with school closures.

Will the Democratic Party show these cannibals of our kids futures the door?

2. Well if Chicago dems like Rahm are any indication the dems are part of the problem IMO

3. Rahm is a metastasizing cancer on the Democratic Party

that they don't excise him shows that they care more about carrying corporate water than winning or pursuing any particular policy objectives.

In a word: no.

The New fangled Dems love them some school privatization (and privatization in general) as much as those across the aisle. Sadly.

6. but they are smart enough to not even attempt to defend it here

Or anywhere else informed people would have a chance to respond on an equal footing.
