Obama’s Shock Doctrine
It appears as though Left Blogistan is waking up to the corporatist take over of Obama’s education policy… better late than never I guess.
It’s really hard to see this as anything other than a Shock Doctrine-style deal, since it’s a way to force cash-starved states and schools to change education policy and practice, regardless of what they might normally and democratically choose to do. And not only that–because the funds are limited, they could make the changes, and still not get a dime for doing so.
