Los Angeles privatization pushers take second biggest slice of reactionary Walton pie
"[T]here should be no education marketplace." — Dr. Diane Ravitch (celebrated education professor and author)
The indefatigable Valerie Strauss posted an excellent piece yesterdaydiscussing where and how funds from the arch-reactionaries of the Walton Family Foundation were divvied out to various entities engaged in the privatization of public education. Second in funding only to the voucher dystopia and Michelle Rhee wasteland of Washington D.C. is Los Angeles, which saw the Ayn Rand worshiping Walton fortune heirs dump $11,981,508 into any organization proffering poverty pimping.
Time doesn't permit covering all of Los Angeles based privatization outfits on the list, but a cursory glance at some of our more notorious and egregious local offenders was worth compiling.

It's no small irony that Los Angeles based corporate charter chain Camino Nuevo Charter Academy (CNCA),
