Kentucky to lose public schools?

The idea of Kentucky losing public schools is almost redundant, as its school system seems to be private in terms of who may attend.

I know this firsthand.

But the Bluegrass State may be on the brink of losing schools that are even run by public agencies.

The Kentucky House has unanimously approved a bill that would shift management of "low-performing" schools to for-profit companies.

Guess they didn't learn a thing from the scam that was pulled in Hartford a few years back.

The excuse for this bill is that it has to be passed in order for Kentucky to receive federal education funds. Then why aren't all the other states trying to turn their schools into profit-making businesses as well?

Not like this effort isn't also nearly redundant. What is the modern American education system but a massive indoctrination camp that molds our children into cheap, docile labor to serve Big Business? Sadly, that's what it's become.
