LAUSD'S SLEAZY DEASY STEALS A LINE FROM THE LATE GILDA RADNER: IPADS? "NEVER MIND"
With Superintendent John Deasy's morally challenged behavior in dealing with Pearson, Apple, and IPads, we get another glimpse of the real darkness of the privatization agenda, which is too evil for most to believe or process. It comes down to money and the further dumbing down of Americans to the point where they are incapable of sequencing enough fact together to "question authority."
Public education is a close to $1 trillion a year "business" that up until recently saw 87% of this budget go to certificated and classified school staff salaries. With charters run by corporate interests, 40% of this total public education budget would now go to the administration of public education and would give obscene profits to those supplying goods and services at inflated prices. This is the context in which this collusive IPad insider deal should be viewed.
Predictably, the student products of such a purposefully failed public education system are incapable of sequencing together enough facts to understand what is going on or to question public education authorities and the illegal actions they continue to engage in without challenge or opposition by local, state, and federal authorities that have clearly given a green light to this privatization agenda for corporate profit. If a teacher and not Superintendent Deasy were involved in such an action, they would be sitting at home until an investigation took place- but not our boy Deasy.
John Deasy's IPad fiasco with Pearson and Apple Computers with whom he engaged in inpermissible early and collusive negotiations long before the IPad contract was put out for public bids, was never subjected to independent scrutiny. And when Stewart Magruder, who sat on the oversight committee at LAUSD tried to question it, he was removed (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-board-reappoints-ipad-critic-20140617-story.html).
Giving any company an inside tract to a public contract is clearly illegal. But what is not examined is Superintendent John Deasy's prior morally challenged actions that are regrettably consistent with his present playing it fast and loose with Pearson, Apple, and the IPads, which LAUSD bought at inflated prices with bad software and poor service contracts.
Deasy got his doctorate at the University of Louisville without adequate attendance or unit credit from Robert Felner, who was just released last May from federal prison, where he was serving a 5 year term for fraud. Hmm.
Also not mentioned in the present IPad fiasco is Deasy's awarding a $375,000 consulting contract to said Felner, when Deasy was superintendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. One hand washes the other?
Now look at this in the context of Deasy's predecessor as LAUSD superintendent Ramon Cortines, who sexually harassed an employee and had to suffer getting his full pension and a high school named after him.
Then juxtapose all this with the standard of behavior that teachers and not administrators are being held to and unjustly vilified them and you realize that administrative malfeasance and alleged and LAUSD'S SLEAZY DEASY STEALS A LINE FROM THE LATE GILDA RADNER: IPADS? "NEVER MIND" - Perdaily.com:
