Lois Weiner and Sarah Rothschild speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. Capitalism has shifted its project to dismantle public education. A new alignment of players (including tech firms, private equity, and venture capitalists), have established a foothold in schools using educational technology to privatize, surveil and control teachers’ and students’ work, often working with the far Right to turn back social justice reforms in schools. The session explores the project and pushback. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
