Behind the Manor of Gate’s Farm: “Charter Schools Good, Public Schools Bad”

[proud2BlibKansan]

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ~ George Orwell

Today, like so many other authors are trying to do, I am exercising my liberty to tell America’s people what they don’t seem to want to hear.

I am telling all of you that YOU are being led by the nose, by none other than “Pig Brother” like sheep to the slaughter in a Charter School Movement that is successfully throwing America’s Constitution out the window.

” Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind .” ~ George Orwell

Our own House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 2218, which will mandate the implementation of Charter Schools in EVERY state, ignoring our own Constitutional Amendments and laws that have been governing equality and civil rights for years.

The promoters of this bill and the privatization of America’s public schools are using the tried and true tactics of lies and propaganda, much like Orwell’s Animal Farm (1945).

1. Funny you should mention it-

Animal Farm was the first thing that came to my mind
when I watched the elites sipping champaign and laughing at the
"have nots" from their balcony in the video posted in the Political Videos Forum
today- have you seen it yet? If not- you must.

It truly is a "Let them eat cake" moment captured near the end
of the clip- short, but OH so telling.
Some animals are MORE equal than others.

(On edit- it made me sick to my stomach...it is THAT revolting)

4. How do we get that clip to Thom Hartmann?

I'm sure he could rip it!
Amy Goodman, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart- any of them!
It needs to be seen by as many people as possible!
