I don't think anyone can disagree with that. As Hedges says, our whole education system and our media has been corporatized, and students are now being taught 'what to think' rather than 'how to think', in preparation for the corporate world.

That was the purpose of NCLB, teaching to the test eg.

But when our education system is designed by businessmen with no input from educators, what else could we expect?

Very good discussion, too bad it cannot be heard on the MSM.

And great signs at the beginning from OWS re Corporate Personhood. Who says they do not have message?
