"What shocks me about neoliberalism is how utterly unapologetic it is about the misery it produces."

99. Exactly, and I can think of a perfect example too

John Deasy, corporate-installed superintendent of LA School District (now leaving ),
is a classic example of a corporatist-neoliberal, whose actual mission in education was to deligitimatize
and crush Teacher's Unions and dis-empower teachers while establishing for-profit Charter Schools wherever feasible.

Any time he was attacked, or even questioned, he responded by using the language of the civil rights movement
and Martin Luther King (it's all about "children's civil rights" and giving "poor minority children a chance in life", etc etc etc),
which ofcourse are all admirable sentiments.

The only problem is that Deasy's priorities became pushing thru a well-over $1Billion corporate deal for IPADS, using
construction funds no less, that was obviously a crony deal from start-to-finish (phone call records confirm the collusion).

BEWARE CORPORATISTS WHO USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
TO FURTHER CORPORATE GOALS.

Hate to say it, but the languaging sure works on a lot of Liberals---hence the success of
the so-called school "reform" movement, which is actually a corporate hi-jack operation and
total deception on a nationwide scale.
