Wall Street and charter schools
Business media reported that charter school debt returned,18%, in interest payments to Wall Street, in 2014.
Gates worked with Capital Impact Partners, an offshoot of NCB (a government-created bank, for cooperatives) to fund charter schools like those partnered with Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings. It's ironic because Hastings has called for the end of democratically elected boards of education. The charter school plot is far from the spirit of a cooperative. It is, instead, public goods taken over by oligarchs.
The final sequence in the plot, is the replacement of public schools with the Gates/Pearson/Zuckerberg-backed, for-profit Bridge International Academies.
