56. People are still connecting the dots on corporatism in general.

Each issue is propagandized separately, so that people won't see the overarching theme, which is the sale/privatization of this country and transformation of its human citizens into mere sources of profit for the corporate elite. It's easy to be fooled by seemingly earnest talk of "high standards" if you don't see the larger motive and patterns.

A lot of people can see first-hand the malignancy of high stakes testing in their children's experience. What they don't necessarily see until it is pointed out, is the larger goal....the common theme here: .to corporatize education and capture this huge, permanent market for profiteering....just as other basic human needs, like the need for health care, are being captured and profitized.

In a corporate-run state, the people are merely "human resources" for profit, and we live in a corporate-run state now.
