uess you haven't been following what is happening to education under this administration. Not too surprising because, as I said, DU turns out to slam the religions takeover of schools, but numerous well-documented threads about how the current administration is forging ahead with implementing the ronald reagan/bill bennet plan to turn schools over to private corporations. In a stunning series of actions Obama's education department has been funding and supporting privatization of public schools - a principle goal of the neo-con manifesto. I'm not a fan of religious intrusion into our schools either. But post after post about corporate intrusion draw a few comments and yawns. The contrast to the responses on this OP would indicate that the majority of DU hates the idea of religion in schools but has no problem with union busting and corporate takeover of the public schools system as long as a Democrat is doing it. My contention is that no republican administration could ever do what arne duncan is doing to our schools without DU erupting.

For information about the end of public education and how it is being achieved do a search on any of a dozen well-documented OP's by Madfloridian.
