Michelle Rhee continues as the front group for corporations, right wing millionaires and billionaires who want to bust unions. She is joined in her opposition to Michigan’s Prop 2 by the deceptively named Democrats for Education Reform, the group founded by Wall Street hedge fund managers to advance privatization.
Unions need to confront Obama now!
How many kids could that money help instead? How many schools could it make better? I can’t imagine what it must be like to have that much money and just squander it the way these Rheeformers do. It could really do so much good if only it were used the right way. So sad.
In the movie “Schindler’s List”, when it looks like Schindler’s workers will be liquidated and before he decides to save them all, he tells the Ben Kingsley character that he will arrange for special treatment for him. Kingsley says, “I hope you don’t mean that the way it sounds”. Schindler gets frustrated and says, “Preferential treatment, then. What, do we have to reinvent the entire language?” Kingsley replies, “Yes, I think we do”.*
My point being that we too have to be very careful with words, even words as simple as “give” or “donate”. The proper word is “pay”. Giving and donating imply generosity, and there is absolutely nothing generous about what Rhee or anyother rheeformer is doing.

It’s all about control, and it doesn’t matter to them who suffers…they are selfish, narrcisistic sociopaths.

Ironic that this seems to fit here.
yes. But she fools so many including Oprah.
The female equivalent of an empty suit, but this one is an empty suit collecting millions from rightwing billionaires to undermine democracy.
