great article.... the .01% realized they won't have enough willing dupes to toil mindlessly in their factories and fields if people continue have access to information and education ... their solution is bring down education and make a buck doing it, education is a trillion dollar industry

just check out the names in the fake corporate reform movement ... bill gates, michael bloomberg, rupert murdoch, the walton family, eli broad, and many more super rich with lesser known names

You Will Not See This in Any National News

This is what the Chicago Teachers Union wants.

The strike is not about pay.

It is about the conditions of teaching and learning.

It is about class size.

It is about curriculum.

It is about social workers for children who need them.

It is about resources and commitment.

It is about making a commitment to give the children of Chicago the kind of education that children in the suburbs routinely get.

The children of Chicago need the same things.
