What’s Left of Public Education When the Left Starts to Leave
“While public schools are gutted by underfunding and reformed to serve the interests and aims of economic organizations, neoliberal reformers simultaneously promote alternatives to the public system by celebrating choice in education. Like the word independent, the word choice is purposely used to obscure links to privatization. The sanitization of privatization with these terms can make people who would otherwise reject privatization feel better about their choices and to not think more deeply about them.”
Thank you to IPE/BC Associates, Shannon DM Moore and Justin Fraser, for shining a light on education privatization in BC in the latest publication in our Occasional Paper Series, What’s Left of Public Education When the Left Starts to Leave.
