9/11 and the Slow Death of Public Education
In the aftermath of that fateful day on September 11, 2001, an 1,100 page bill that would forever alter the course of American education was passed by Congress. No Child Left Behind was the first piece of domestic legislation to pass in the wake of 9/11. At the time, few members of Congress took the time to read through the legislation. The corporate blood suckers finally were handed the public school system on a silver platter. Anyone who voted for this legislation was either clueless about education and what was in the bill, or part of the school privatization agenda.
Here we are 10 years later, significant damage, possibly irreversible damage has been done not only to public education, but to all area of the public good. We still don't have health care,
