It’s not a “debate” it’s a “chat”.
We have a huge problem here in Michigan when it comes to dictatorial Right Wing takeovers. We may well become the first state to actually privatize public education. Chris Savage at Eclectablog has written about it and so have I. When the school superintendent from West Bloomfield (Mitt Romney’s home town and our own 90210) sends a letter to parents hinting at a Koch-fueled conspiracy, you know we have a real battle on our hands.
I wrote about it yesterday: http://www.ramonasvoices.com/2012/11/will-michigan-be-first-to-privatize.html
