Please Post Your Responses on Gates’ Blog

Earlier today I posted Anthony Cody’s searing critique of the Gates Foundation’s support for profiteering and privatization. (“When Profits Drive Reform”)

Cody pulled no punches. He went right into the house of the Emperor to tell him that he has no clothes.

His post is now posted on the Gates Foundation’s own blog. They call it “Impatient Optimists.”

Please leave your comments on the Gates’ blog so that the foundation staff is sure to read them.

They need to hear what teachers and principals and school board members think of their efforts to transfer control of public education to private hands and to measure teachers by test scores. They need to hear what you think of handing children over to profit-seeking entrepreneurs.
