to dismantle public education in favour of privatized and parochial alternatives for at least 25 years, and with the (perhaps unwitting) cooperation from some surprising entities. Ever since Dubya put pen to a rather diabolical plan (NCLB) that basically held that, no matter how good a student's performance, the next one had to be better.
