by Labor Video Project
Kathleen Carroll, an attorney and fired whistleblower at the California Commission For Teacher Credentialing was interviewed about the growing systemic corruption of private charters and other commercial interests who want to make public education a profit center for their businesses. She also discusses the Turkish Gulen controlled Magnolia school connection which has schools in California and is the largest chain of charter schools in the United States.
Finally she exposes the failure of California politicians such as Attorney General Kamala Harris to prosecute this systemic nepotism, financial conflicts of interest and criminal violations of the law by lobbyists and government officials who are voting on public funds going to companies that they have financial interests in.

Pearson is one of the largest suppliers of books and tests in the United States and is being investigated by the New York Attorney General for payoffs to school officials to get contracts for their products. In California there is also a growing web of officials who may also have received payoffs to get contracts for their products. California Attorney General Kamala Harris refuses to investigate these criminal connections and maybe be getting political contributions from these privatizers or have connections with these foundations.
