This American Life Covers Controversial Story on Public School Board Dominated by Those With Private Interests

Sound familiar? There are any number of ways well-organized and well-funded private interests are influencing and diminishing public education. In this story "A Not-So-Simple Majority," a diverse and working class New York community finds its school board overtaken by Hasidic Jews who seem more interested in supporting their own exclusive communities than the general public of East Ramapo.


Click *here* for the story, which is one of the most compelling stories I've heard. Click the white-on-orange "Luanch Player" to start audio. Parallels with the  current broader corporate ed reform movement are uncanny, though no one should read into me saying so that I am in any way blaming the Jewish community for current American education exigencies. If that argument can be made, it will not be made by me.
