Understanding the Online Scandal in Maineby dianerav |
If you read this article about how online companies bought American education, you would not be at all shocked or surprised by the scandal in Maine.
There, the state commissioner of education is following the
instructions of Jeb Bush's education advisor and implementing the ALEC
model legislation to change the laws to bring in for-profit online
corporations.

and the taxpayers in Maine will be ripped off.
That's known these days as reform.
