Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

That is basically what the scam of "parent trigger" is all about. Of course, parents of charter school kids wouldn't be able to "pull a trigger" and convert the schools into regular public schools or simply shut them down.

No, it's anything to help the crooks like Broad, Gates, and Wal-Mart.

There is a new propaganda film out, and CBS is actually broadcasting some kind of fundraising horseshit designed to help TFA instead of actually improving public education.

It's a bunch of hogwash:

The world’s largest private-sector employer and the country’s most prominent conservative entertainment company have teamed up to sponsor a fundraiser called “Teachers Rock.” Backed by Walmart and Anschutz Film Group, the August 14 event will feature live performances from musicians like Josh Groban and appearances from actresses like Viola Davis; it will be broadcast August 18 as a CBS special with messages from actresses like Meryl Streep. And it will promote the upcoming feature film Won’t Back Down, Anschutz’s entry in the “education reform” wars.

Won’t Back Down is reportedly a highly sympathetic fictional portrayal of “parent trigger” laws, a major flashpoint in debates over education and collective bargaining. Under such laws, the submission of signatures from a majority of parents in a school triggers a “turnaround option,” which can mean the replacement of a unionized school with a non-union charter. Such laws have been passed in several states, but due to court challenges, the "trigger" process has never been fully implemented.

"Teachers rock," my ass. It's more like stoning teachers.
