More Than 4 of 10 Children Born into Poverty Will Remain There
Mike Feinberg was the guest on Tuesday of Wall Street's Cowen Institute at Tulane University, a propaganda tank set up at Tulane to provide an academic facade for the glossy reports they produce to push the completion of the corporatization of schools effort inspired by Hurricane Katrina. According to a fawning scribe on the scene, who refers to Feinberg as "Dr. Feinberg," an undergraduate from Tulane handled the intro, reading from the KIPP script that
"every day KIPP students are proving that demographics do not decide destiny."
Feinberg began his KIPP pitch with a favorite "African custom of greeting one another with 'How are the children?' with an expected answer of 'All the children are well.'"
The oft-repeated platitude and this bit of African custom fit nicely into the KIPP brand of positive psychology nonsense, but it has almost no connection to the grinding realities of poverty that remain the invisible elephants
