commodified, obedient, mindlessly consuming, confused, well-schooled and under-educated populations ready for the military or conquered and divided fighting amongst imagined ideological opponents instead of uniting and fighting the real serial killers is what these “public”-private partnerships otherwise called charters and turn-around schools will produce. It’s a pipeline, get out.

I support public school teachers and find the vicious smear campaign against these women and men who teach in our communities repugnant. We are struggling mightily against the well organized forces of the corporate charter-voucher school sector. We are currently trying to save a brand new school from being given away to a CMO.

we cannot end wars to end all wars nor prevent ideally-structured society in which we’d eventually have a permanent under- and over-class or only meritocratic people.
and a set of people deciding who’s meritocratic enough to join the haloed circle.

only an antipodal power can do that. and china at this time is not it..

as for the ‘left’ in u.s., it cldn’t agree on time of day, let alone give up its privileges: professorship, tutorship, and the like.
in short, selves practicing meritocracy– the greatest evil to have befallen us to date.

which is bound to cause a N-war! tnx
