SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC EDUCATION CONFERENCE LAYS OUT THREE PRONGS OF THE PRIVATIZATION BATTLE PLAN (VIDEO)
On January 19, 2013 I went up to San Francisco for a conference on the privatization of public education. My part of the presentation at the conference had to do with the nationwide witch hunt to rid LAUSD and districts like it around the country of teachers at the top of the salary scale, about to vest in lifetime health benefits, or who run afoul of their administrator for not following orders, no matter how illegal or irrational they are.
In addition to my presentation public education veterans Danny Weil and Jack Gershon made incredibly insightful presentations. Take the time to watch the following videos, share them with your friends, network, and give us some feedback.
Danny Weil is a teacher, author and journalist who is an expert on privatization and charters.He writes for "Truth Out" "Daily Censored" and other publications. At an education conference on Privatization of Public Education and the Unions in San Francisco he discusses the corporate financialization of public education and and how this is destroying the public education in the United States along with the role of the education unions in confronting this frontal attack on public education.
The presentation was made on January 19, 2012 and was sponsored by United Public Workers For Action with the title "Public Education, Privatization and The NEA/CTA, SEIU and AFT/CFT and What Can Education Workers, Students & Parents Do To Defend Public Education?".
