Mercedes Schneider: Billionaires Jim and Alice Walton Seek to Purchase Louisiana State Board; by Diane Ravitch

 " The Walton Family is collectively worth more than $150 billion, and their hobby is undermining and disrupting public schools across the nation. The Waltons are determined to harm the public schools that educated their father Sam Walton and most of them.Mercedes Schneider reports in this post that the Waltons waited until close to Election Day so that Louisianans would not have time to learn that out-of-State billionaires were trying to buy the state board elections.The family belongs on the blog’s Wall of Shame for their ceaseless attacks on public schools, unions, experienced teachers, and communities."
