Dave Green: "The Inconvenient Truth Behind Teach for America and Its Inadequate Version of Teacher Training

Continuing our teach-in from last weekend's Occupation at ED, next up is Dave Green, who does field supervision of teacher interns for Fordham U. in NYC.  This is a really well-crafted presentation by someone who has seen TFA up close and personal.  Please watch and learn.

The KIPP chain gangs and their emulators could not exist without the exploited naive white missionary types from TFA who believe they are on a moral mission (or at least earning service points to get into Harvard Law).  And so were the white missionaries from earlier times who were used by economic interests to make native Americans compliant and, therefore, complicit in their own exploitation and extermination.  Today the corporate colonialism of urban America is led by KIPP and TFA.
