Comments for Conversation With Henry Giroux: Let Us Make Haste While We Can »
Posted By rumple4skin 6 months, 3 weeks ago in NewsLet's begin with an assumption that goes against common sense: Schools are failing, not because they are inefficient, but because they are public. That's how the Right-wing sees this. The attack on public schools is not because they don't work. It's because they are public. And so every attempt - organizing the curriculum to reflect corporate interests and values - to turn over school spaces to advertising agencies (billboards, advertisements in bathrooms, junk food in cafeterias) is to inform kids that the only thing that matters is the relationship between knowledge and money.
