KIPP Joins Charter School Corruption Nationwide with Six Figure Embezzlement Scheme

[Hannah Bell]

There are a number of reasons why KIPP has become that shining schoolhouse on the hill that Gates, Broad, the Waltons, and the Fishers hold up (no pun intended) as the prime example of how to properly reintroduce total compliance behaviors among poor black and brown children across America. KIPP, in fact, has once again made segregation cool and "separate but equal" politically correct...KIPP, in fact, has made a civic virtue out of throwing away half their students.

And through their ongoing consultation with Dr. Martin Seligman and his cadre of glassy-eyed zombie psychologists who teach corporate happiness through positive psychology mind control, KIPP founders Feinberg and Levin have hit upon a goldmine for themselves and a new generation of would-a-been Wall Street thieves... Many in this generation of "entrepreneurs" have turned social, i. e., they have focused on robbing and dismantling our public institutions whose loose democratic confederations don't stand a chance against the organized greed of the Oligarchy.

So it must be a busy day today at the New York advertising and PR firms that handle the KIPP account. But never fear--they have contained this current thievery investigation at KIPPs in San Antonio within the hush-hush boundaries of the "white crime" unit. Does that mean white criminals stealing from black and brown people? I thought so. From the Express-News:

Leaders of KIPP San Antonio, a branch of one of the most successful charter school programs in the country, are reeling after learning a former employee may have embezzled tens of thousands of dollars from the school district's accounts...a member of the district's financial operation's team who was working from home last Thursday stopped returning phone calls and e-mail after 12 p.m.

The next morning, one of KIPP's financial institutions contacted officials to alert them to suspicious activity on an account...So far, officials have determined that a sum “in the low six figures” was missing. Brown declined to reveal the total amount because officials still are going through all their accounts. The employee was fired for not showing up to work.

KIPP schools are public charter schools that receive state funding but are free from many of the requirements of traditional public schools. . .

1. I wish they had defined 'successful'

Are they talking about student achievement or profit?

[prairierose]

2. I think they mean that they are successful at the destruction...

of public schools and education in general.
