The for-profit corporate octopuses are thrusting their arms into the education waters in new and unseemly ways.
In The New York Times column, "Virtually Educated," Gail Collins gives us a look at the nature of one corporate octopus that is operating in the education system of Tennessee. Ms. Collins discusses how this company is aided and abetted by thecorporate-selected, ugh popularly-elected legislators.
The predatory behavior described in Ms. Collins' column is not a new phenomenon.
James K. Galbraith, in his book The Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too (The Free Press 2008), got it right when he suggested that conservatives had abandoned the free market system -- indeed. Nowadays, they are more into the plutocratic market system.
Questions:
Would we permit a predator live in our houses? Then, why are we allowing predators to enter our children's schoolhouses?
