" Americans are awakening to the reality that the private alternatives are parasitic on the public system, and are pushing back. At the same time, privatizers are ramping up because they see their cash cows melting away! . Super-rich power-elite and foundations have poured billions into the subsidization and promotion of charters, vouchers, education savings accounts, tuition tax credits, state takeover mechanisms and portfolio districts. Federal and state governments, contrary to education provisions in state constitutions, have poured hundreds of billions of dollars into these private ventures that undermine the fiscal and civic integrity of school districts.. An overwhelming majority of the American people love the common school."..but they must be vigilant!
