WHAT'S WRONG AT LAUSD AND HOW DO WE FIX IT? TUNE IN TO 90.7 FM KPFK ON 1/1/13 AT 4 PM
On New Year's Day at 4 pm on 90.7 FM KPFK I will do a show on the deplorable state of public education at the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), how we got here, what's the nefarious agenda, and the rather straight forward means of fixing it. Hopefully, this show will be the first in a series laying out in the clearest of possible terms what is wrong at LAUSD and what we can do to turn this unacceptable situation around. After an initial introduction of the topic and our panel, we will take calls from you the listening audience.
PUBLIC EDUCATION WAS CLEARLY TARGETED IN THE NEOLIBERAL AGENDA. IT'S MAJOR GOALS ARE:
- THE PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE WORTH AS MUCH AS 1.3 TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO THE HEDGE FUNDS THAT WOULD WIND UP REPLACING PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THESE HEDGE FUNDS COULD DOUBLE THEIR MONEY IN 7 YEARS, WHILE GETTING SUBSTANTIAL FEDERAL AND STATE TAX BENEFITS.
