The American Dream

I love George Carlin.  People focus so much on his use of foul language instead of his social commentary and views on the American citizen.  A side note: George needs to be listened to in his unaltered form.  A George with no foul language is not George.  He denounces schools as ruining the creativity and critical thinking skills of youth, blames business for screwing up the economy and controlling the country and overall considers the public to be a bunch of lazy, lifeless consumers.

And now Big Business is moving into education.  Bill and Melinda Gates.  Eli Broad.  Countless other Inc.'s and Co.'s and six figure salary earning CEOs of "schools" want to take over under-performing schools that are being measured with poor tests and even poorer resources.

And they are winning.  They have the media, the ear of the misinformed public, and too few people teachers standing up against them arguing for demanding a better way.

Are you asleep?
