Privatize Everything

Sept. 7th, 2011

Andy Kroll reports over at Mother Jones:

"Michigan Republican Sen. Phil Pavlov, who chairs the state Senate's education committee, is preparing legislation that would allow public school districts to hire teachers through private, for-profit companies. Privatizing the hiring process would presumably allow school districts to bypass compensation packages sought by teachers unions and let private companies compete for contracts with districts."

The fact the private firms would have every reason to incentivize the insertion of their own for-profit positions in the curriculum doesn't seem to bother Sen. Pavlov. Just another modern Republican leading Michigan down Gov. Snyder's path to plutocracy.
