http://www.madison.com/tct/opinion/column/index.php?ntid=81327&ntpid=1Ed Garvey: Milwaukee school study shows how neocons try to control infoBy Ed GarveyThe Capital TimesPublished: April 24, 2006Ed Garvey is a Madison lawyer, political activist and the editor of thefightingbob.com Web site. E-mail: [email protected]he "scientific study" will conclude in a year surprise, surprise thatpublic schools are inferior to private voucher schools. Evidence will bescarce but they assume you will only read the headline. Theirprescription will, predictably, be more vouchers.If the stakes weren'tso high, it would almost be enjoyable to watch how the neoconsmanipulate our institutions and media as they advance theiranti-government agenda. They believe in controlling the flow ofinformation on matters of public policy and they are darned good at it. ...
How will we learn the results? Ah, the Bradley Foundation has taken careof that. The Bradley-funded Wisconsin Policy Research Institute willpublish the results, the Journal Sentinel and other papers will havestories based on WPRI's release, and editorials will flow. One canalmost write them now: "Yes, we believe in public education but arepublic schools equipped to train the work force of tomorrow? ShouldMilwaukee admit failure and ask the Bradley Foundation to put acorporate team together to save our schools and our children?"But it won't stop there. The WPRI will have radio opportunities providedby Journal Communications. You see, Bradley supported Charles Sykes, whohas a morning talk show on the most powerful radio station in Wisconsin,WTMJ, owned by Journal Communications. Every workday for 3.5 hours,Sykes has an opportunity to tell listeners about the "prestigious"Manhattan Institute study, push vouchers and condemn the teachers andtheir union for opposing privatization of public schools.WISN talk show host Mark Belling will be singing in the chorus as well.
