Privatizing Education: The Neoliberal Project To Re-Imagine America For Them, Not Us
01 Oct 2010
🖨️ Print Article

In this 55 minute audio by U of Illinois scholar and activist Pauline Lippman, she explains how the bipartisan push to privatize education by starving existing public schools, introducing charter schools in the name of “choice” and destroying teacher unions is key to a radical re-fashioning of American society by our wealthy corporate elite, one that is disastrous for the rest of us, our communities and our children.

Against The Grain is a three times a week radio show on Berkeley's KPFK Radio.
