These charter schools pay huge amounts of money to their owners and
CEOs while stripping teacher’s pay to the bone. Students, more than any
other group, are subjected to the worst neoliberal policies pursued by
President Obama. And, with privatized prisons always hungry for more and
more prisoners, the school to prison pipeline is secure. And the privatized prisons make a profit, to boot!
