Waiting for Kryptonite VIII.

September 22, 2010

I know I said the last one would be the last one and it isn’t going to be the last one. Maybe this one is the last one. Maybe not. teacherken writing on Daily Kos has what he calls some rambling thoughts about the faux doc Waiting for Superman and the NBC Education Summit.

Now consider the following.
The Oprah Winfrey Show is distributed by CBS Television Studios
(subsidiary of Viacom/National Amusements) and “Waiting for Superman”
(W4S) is  distributed by Paramount vantage (subsidiary of
Viacom/National Amusements).  Winfrey has been heavily touting the movie
on her show.

    I don’t find any of these connections surprising , but I think it’s important to point them out as well as to publicize the charterization and privatizing of as many schools as possible, forcing out public education and teacher’s unions. I have never seen such blatant negative talk about our unions, in public, as I did on Oprah’s show, and SHE OUGHT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. Wasn’t Ophrah Winfrey a product of public schools? This all out assault is disgraceful, and Obama needs to know that as well if he wants our support.

    Excuse me, but I don’t want to be Bill Gates, or worse yet sound like him, when I speak. Since when did he become an educational expert? He didn’t!!!!!!
