American Education is being Deliberately Destroyed - But Why?: "Another important reason had emerged to demonize unionized public workers (especially teachers). The cabal of CEOs and elected officials that threw America’s industrial economy ‘under the bus’ needed a red herring to divert the public’s attention.
