He calls it a subsidy for charters that will help further privatization of all public education in California. He also discusses the role of the NEA, AFT, and CFT in "lacing" themselves with money from privatizers such as the Bill an Melinda Gates Foundation and other "non-profit" foundations. Weil is also author of "Vouchers and Privatization of Education" and "Charter School Movement" The presentation was made in Berkeley, California on June 2, 2012
