They care as much about the growth and development of kids living in poverty as they did about all the subprime mortgages they sold to families knowing that it would collapse the world economy in 2008. This is a propaganda piece, brought to you by corporate America and Hedge Fund investors who want one thing only: financial profits. Shortly after I posted that story a doctoral student from one Northeastern university or another responded with this: That illiberal war against reason is bullshit, but not bigger than the bullshit I’m about to tell you about. The outcome could bring punishment from the state if these schools do not spend more money to attract white students.
It’s like a recurring business card for shortcut thinking and middle-class preciousness.Īs an example, today I posted a story about how Minnesota’s charter school opponents are using the state’s integration rule to attack schools with a culturally affirming curriculum (Afrocentric, Hmong, or Latino heritage). If you’ve engaged about education on social media this type of bullshit is posted each minute. The number of errors in that trope should make you a subject for psychiatry, not praise. Everyone shakes their head in agreement because you sound educated.Įxcept, it’s all bullshit. “We have to stop these Neoliberal corporate reformers from using standardized testing to test and punish our students (and teachers) so that hedge fund billionaires can privatize education by turning a public good into a profitable market.” Congratulations on being a thinking person, but that won’t work in this circle. You know schools are complex and can’t be expressed through shorthand. Over the past year they have made a contribution to either Hillary or Bernie. They are on the vanguard of gentrification and appreciate cosmetic diversity.
Everyone near you is white, college educated, and has 2.5 children. You’re at a dinner party and the topic of education comes up.
