McDonald's Pulls Ads Off WTIC-AM After Criticism

Another lesson from the realm of school partnerships with corporations... a student in a Hartford area school is forced to apologize to a student assembly after he criticized McDonald's during a company visit to his high school. Now I ask: what message are we sending to students when this sort of thing happens? And since when has criticizing corporations become a punishable offense? Well - since corporations started providing part of the core curriculum... see, the big problem isn't that private enterprise is paying a role in education, the big problem is that private enterprise is fundamentally undemocratic...
