LAUSD Superintendent John "sleazy" Deasy
This man is clever and slippery. Trained by Eli Broad and Bill Gates
to be a manipulative insider, Deasy frequently relies on the language of
the Civil Rights Movement (invoking "minority children's rights" and constantly flogging phrases like "every child matters"
to attack teachers and their unions, and promote policies that are destroying Public Education in America,
and softening-it-up for privatization via a flood of investors backing for-profit charter schools
who descend on those vulnerable schools like the vultures they actually are.
Schools are "softened-up" and made vulnerable via perceived low test scores and given a vigorous
extra-boost of negativity with the steady drumbeat of local corporate media criticism.
Then, the investors move in.
Say goodbye to another Public School.
It's a win-win formula for the privatizers and their ilk.
Neoliberalism at work.
And this man is one of their best "Knights".
Yup. A regular Sir Launcelot, in-reverse.
Slayer of teachers. Murderer of Public Education.
Every day, this man does more and more damage to Public Education in the name of "reform".
And yet, at this time,
there is no one to stop him.
Here's a recent dissection of just a few of Deasy's deceptions:
