The Ministry of Information

Yes, I am old enough to have read 1984, as well as Brave New world. Don't get me started on the parallels between their visions and our developing reality. I'll just say this: the BS coming from the CCSS/Charter/Broad/TFA/Gates/Walton/Duncan/Bloomberg/Klein/Walcott 'reform' crew reminds me of the Ministry of Information, which, as we all know (those of us who were required to read thought-provoking fiction, that is), was in the business of disseminating propaganda. They might just as well drop flyers from airplanes for all the value in their statements.
