Disaster Capitalism Curriculum: High Price of Education Reform (Episode I)
Romney’s speech on education would be hilarious – if anyone seemed to get the joke. Indeed, Romney’s topsy-turvy view has become so commonplace in the corporate media – stated by both Republican and Democratic politicians, along with countless pundits and reporters themselves – that it verges on the cliché.
Dan Archer and Adam Bessie posted a comic journalist piece on 31 May 2012 in Truthout /Graphic Journalism “The Disaster Capitalism Curriculum: The High Price Education Reform (Episode I):
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney announced in a recent press conference “Education is the civil rights issue of our generation and our public schools are in a state of “national emergency.”
“And we thought, what better way to capture the Bizarro world of education reform than with a serious work of journalism, disguised as a comic?
Our three-part series – published over the next three months – is not intended to be funny,bu to pull back the progressive propaganda disguising the neoliberal, corporate nature of education reform.
Our goal is to expose the free-market policies that really make up “education reform”:
1. how these policies threaten our public education;
2. who supports these policies; and
3. what we might be able to do about the “Disaster Capitalism Curriculum.”
Did you get the joke?
