The attack on public schools and public school teachers has been relentless over the last few years and it's becoming less and less paranoid sounding to claim that there is an orchestrated plan to destroy public education.
Now, a group which supports the privatization of America's schools has openly admitted that they are working for the eventual destruction of public education in America and its replacement with private schools supported by public funds.

“It’s refreshing to see a vouchers promoter who is honest about her real intent — to destroy public education,” responded Julia Rubin, a spokeswoman for Save Our Schools, a New Jersey organization that is opposing the voucher push in the state. “Fortunately, most New Jersey residents understand how devastating vouchers would be for our excellent public schools.”
