I wasn't aware, however, that they were making this sort of push. I can understand why, if public schools are privatized, then the tax dollars spent on public school can go elsewhere. But this model doesn't work in a lot of places, for a lot of people, who rely on public education in order to get the basic education they require. <a href="http://www.kehoe-francens.com/" rel="nofollow"> http://www.kehoe-francens.com/</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466259147975042483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-55500264011923143622015-08-27T19:58:20.813-05:002015-08-27T19:58:20.813-05:00Sadly our Republican legislators have become nothi...Sadly our Republican legislators have become nothing more than paid stand-ins for ALEC's policies. We all know that ALEC is funded by the corporate world and is in reality a "pay to play" operation where they use state legislators to advance their corporate interests at public expense. All these bills are crafted by corporations and then given to corporate sponsored legislators to take back to their states and pass as new public policy innovations. Most of Wisconsin's Republican legislators adopt the ALEC agenda and care not one iota about Wisconsin or its educational needs. They see corporate dollars flowing to their campaigns from the organizations that make up ALEC! In this process these legislators no longer represent the constituents who sent them to Madison and in essence the people of Wisconsin no longer have a voice in their government. Corporate greed is at the heart of bills brought forward and these Republican legislators will do anything to stop government from checking this endless greed!prep-hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722631142024422312noreply@blogger.com
