1. The corporatization of the Public Schools should be opposed by every Democrat

who cares about preserving a system that ensures that all children have an equal opportunity to get an education. There are problems that need to be fixed, especially in the poorer areas. But that can't happen if the funds that should be going to those schools go into the hands of Private Corporations who will dip into those funds for profit, meaning those profits are taking money away from the Public Schools for which they were intended.

This privatization of Public Schools a long held dream of the Right, has speeded up at an alarming rate over the past decade. So they are right, something needs to happen to slow it down before it's too late.
