Check out the great new video by Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist Mark Fiore: ProfitShip! Cashing in on Public Schools. The Progressive commissioned the short, sharable cartoon to help get the word out about the corporate education reform industry’s attack on public education. This animated feature on school privatization stars little Timmy, a kindergartner who likes his public school. Timmy gets a confusing lesson in corporate education reform, starting with the right-wing mantra Public Schools have failed. (The Bradley Foundation, a top right-wing think tank, has devoted more than $30 million to label public education as failing and promote privatization as the solution.) Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mark Fiore uses his trademark humor to show the absurdity of this argument. Despite poor results, charter chains like Rocketship are replacing real teachers and classes like art, social studies, and gym with a computer-aided test-prep curriculum straight out of science fiction.
