  • Keep up the good work, Mr. Karp. The corporate whores in government who want nothing more than to get their greedy hands on our public assets need to be shut down. These privatization schemes are a pox on the public welfare. This issue angers me more than any other.

  • Thank you for the enlightening talk Stan.

  • Well said Mr Karp, you have totally changed my thought process on mandatory testing.

  • wow...more than 51 people need to watch this. i suppose it's brand new though.

    this guy is just the voice i want to hear. i've just begun student teaching and i'm already becoming aggravated with these obvious changes in the public education system. i've experienced first-hand the changes that have been very clearly been imposed from curricula formulated by the private, business sector. thank you for this refreshing talk.
