You don’t hate children & families if you don’t want these fraught actors to profit off our city’s kids. You aren’t a bad person if you question these moves. You should be skeptical of public money being diverted to private entities, especially with education. Don’t let paid off folks deceive you.

Anti-privatization advocates are familiar with this game. One need only look at airport privatization attempt or attempt to redirect $17m from SLPS to charters. There’s always some consultant getting paid to say it’s great. There’s always a legislator carrying water for a campaign account kickback.

Skeptics are routinely shouted down at hearings, gaslit by paid consultants, or accused of personal vendettas. Those being paid for their advocacy or who stand to benefit cannot fathom why anyone would advocate with no near-immediate financial gain. It’s a larger issue within our politics.
