ALEC Has Theirs. Now They Want Yours.

From this perspective, it’s bad enough that states are not providing education on at least a not-for-profit basis. But it’s far worse than that. They’re giving it away! That’s a mortal sin. A crime against capitalism. The worst kind of creeping socialism. Hundreds of billions of tax dollars spent every year in a nonprofit community effort to educate a nation’s children, and the moguls are not skimming off the top. The horror.

So just as the business community tried with Social Security, there’s a massive effort to convince America that there’s something wrong with the public being involved in public education. If the public cannot be convinced, corporate-funded groups like ALEC obviously consider state legislators a softer target.
