So who's bright idea was it to let banks run our schools? What did someone think, "Hey they did such a fantastic job with the economy, that we had to bail them out with tax payer money, so lets get them to run our schools too." What a bunch of Con artists.

I remember in the late 1970s a small group of people going around saying that they could run schools and hospitals more effectively
if they let them run them like a business. And they were true to their word - they are effectively getting rich and destroying future
generations ability to think for themselves critically. Blessed be the name of the corporation!
