Broad Alumni Making It Big in Corporate Takeover of American Education

[Hannah Bell]

Eli Broad's Superintendents Academy is paying big dividends for the corporate takeover of American education and the crushing of the teaching profession.

- In Kansas City a plan developed by Broad's lawyers and Broad Alum, John Covington, will close half of Kansas City Schools with large numbers of corporate charter replacements.

- In Delaware Broad Alum, Lillian Lowery, will lead the RTTT funded initiative to use test scores to decide who teaches in the state.

- And in Detroit, Broad star, Robert Bobb, has a plan developed by the Skillman Foundation, and dismantling of the public system is underway. The public money will continue, of course, even though public voice or public oversight will be a thing of the past.

1. To be blunt,

the betrayal by the American Public who will support the crushing of the teaching profession and the corporate takeover of public education, who will not stand with us to fight this national atrocity, is the worst part of the whole thing.
