Miami Dade School advertising rant
This is off of my research topic but Miami Dade School Board has decided to allow the privitization of their schools via corporate advertising on school grounds. The ads have limitations such as being age appropriate or not selling junk food. They are allowing this in an effort to raise millions of dollars in projected revenues for the school system which is experiencing significant fiscal shortfalls. I can't make this up. I actually thought that I had seen everything. I was mistaken; approval of a six hundred plus million stadium while simultaneously prostituting our greatest assets' minds. Where is the disconnect?

I know, I can't believe they passed the stadium deal. Millions for a stadium when Florida's kids don't have books in their schools and they can't read and write... Granted, it provides temporary jobs, but I think they could have found another way...
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you. Leo you already heard my rant the other day after class on the issue. I say there needs to be a law where schools are required to provide each enrolled student with a book or the books they need for every class.
