Follow on Google News | Award-Winning Filmmakers Reveal How Big Business is Dismantling our Public School SystemFilmmakers Jack Paar and Ron Halpern are creating a film that will blow the lid off of the corruption that is behind the corporate takeover of public education. "Corporatized" has been called the anti "Waiting for Superman" film.
Currently, Paar and Halpern are raising funds through a Kickstarter campaign. At $155,000, their goal may seem lofty. But, their goal is to draw national and possibly international attention to the cause, which requires a great deal of funding. Compared to Michael Moore's $9 million budget for "Sicko", 155k is a drop in the bucket. “Corporatized” Each year, over $500 billion of taxpayer money is used to fund the U.S. public education system. In today’s era of privatization, it was only a matter of time before corporate education reformers figured out a way to get at that money. They didn’t just steal it. These savvy, corporate raiders are too smart for that. What they’ve done is create an elaborate scheme to funnel that money in their direction. The testing mania, brought on by No Child Left Behind, is part of their scheme. Sounds legit, and looks legit to the layman. But, the devastation this is causing to public education may be terminal… if we don’t take measures to stop it. Schools are losing their funding. Teachers are losing their jobs. Parents are wondering what happened to the public school system in which they grew up. Children are being reduced to a measly test score. The once engaging, well-rounded education experience is being replaced by the mundane task of learning how to fill in the correct bubble. If there is any hope of defeating these corporate “deformers” “Corporatized” KICKSTARTER LINK: https://www.kickstarter.com/ End
