In fact, there is now a push to privatize education through charter schools. Moreover, the billionaires are already sponsoring programs and distributing "free" materials to public schools. This is really really deep mind-control. Trying bring up some of these issues with acquaintances, and they will either think you are crazy or some kind of communist agitator.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-45103314121856657092012-12-20T16:23:52.363-05:002012-12-20T16:23:52.363-05:00Yeah, my view is that the people who own everythin...Yeah, my view is that the people who own everything run media and academic empires that train most of the rest of us monkeys to support the economic policies that serve the interests of the owners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-3015371959298177752012-12-20T14:48:00.010-05:002012-12-20T14:48:00.010-05:00y,
