Privatization of education is to segregate people by socioeconomic group and control them with religion

Betsy Devos wants to bring back teaching Christianity in schools through privatization. Why does she want to increase the power of the church this way? Because religion serves to control the lower class and to privilege the white property owning elite.

“Our desire is to be in that Shephelah, and to confront the culture in which we all live today in ways that will continue to help advance God’s Kingdom, but not to stay in our own faith territory,”
- Betsy Devos

“The church — which ought to be in our view far more central to the life of the community — has been displaced by the public school as the center for activity, the center for what goes on in the community,” Dick DeVos, husband

Pigs are not kosher, Dick DeVos says, so you could tell where the Jewish people influenced what the couple call "pagan" communities, because “the pig bones were gone.”"Our job is to figure out in the contemporary context — how do we get the pig bones out of our culture?"

To Betsy, success in education is not whether the students perform better to academic standards, but whether children are taught to fall in line with religious commandments and schools make profit from a business perspective.

"For 20 years, the lobby her family bankrolls has propped up the billion-dollar charter school industry and insulated it from commonsense oversight, even as charter schools repeatedly failed to deliver on their promises to parents and children."

Her bullshit about choice is really about segregating rich kids further from poor kids. We'll have a bad school to police the bad minority kids, an ethnic Christian school for honest working lower class that trains them to be obedient, and good schools for the wealthy Christian whites.

Schools will run their curriculum in the same tone that churches run sermons for adults. Scare the homeless, violent, and problematic drug abusers into reforming with the threat of hell, appease the honest mexicans, blacks, and asians with promises that Jesus died for them and they should be grateful to God for what they have, and reassure the affluent whites that their material and social advantages are the just outcome of living by God.
