Don’t sit under the banana tree with anyone else but Rhee: Michele Rhee invited to speak to for-profit college “union” for $50K

On January 23 the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU), the trade “
union” group for for-profit colleges in the United States, announced that former president George W. Bush would be thekeynote speaker at the lobbying group’s annual conference on June 22, 2012 at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.  It is telling that private for-profit, Wall street traded companies would be having their convention in a casino; they are part of the larger corrupt casino economy.    
APSCU announced the conference’s “other” speaker.  It is the former District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) Chancellor Michelle Rhee.  Rhee, an Eli Broad trained for-profit supplicant, was Chancellor of the Washington, D.C. public schools from 2007 to 2010.  During her time in office, she ushered public schools onto the killing floor of education.  She was hired to ‘fix DCPS’ which meant breaking the DCPS public school teacher’s union’s legs, closing public schools and opening charter schools.
