Right-wing special interests in schools

Since we’ve all come to accept that our government is for sale, I suppose it's unrealistic to expect the public to rush out and demand that education be cleaned up.

Perhaps we need to clean up government before we can clean up education.

We need to take money out of political campaigns, and politics out of schools. It’s a joke to say that political contributions don’t result in legislative and administrative decisions to benefit contributors. We have huge amounts of taxpayer money flowing into schools, and we have entrenched interests, both left-wing and right-wing, that want to channel that money, and the power that accompanies it, to themselves and their friends.
