Dismantling a Community, a new publication from the Center, chronicles the selling-off of New Orleans Schools in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.\r\n\r\nRather than build the first-class public education system that New Orleans kids have deserved for decades, Federal Government officials and right-wing advocates used this tragedy as fertile ground for social experimentation on a grand scale.\r\n\r\nThousands of seasoned teachers have been let go and teacher\'s unions have been decimated while some $40 million has been spent to turn the New Orleans education system into a complex web of individually operated schools where parents have to vie for a quality education for their children.\r\n\r\nDismantling a Community tells the consequences of the ongoing assault that privatization advocates have unleashed on the fragile neighborhoods of New Orleans.\r\n\r\nYou Click download the report via the following url:<br>\r\n\r\nhttp://communitychange.org/issues/education/publications/downloads/DismantlingFULL.pdf\r\n\r\nDismantling a Community is available in hard copy for $5\r\n--To order your hard copy online through our friends at Teaching for Change, visit their website: <br>\r\n\r\nhttp://teachingforchange.org/publications/publications.html <br>\r\n\r\n--To order your hard copy by check payable to the Center for Community Change, send your request to: \r\n\r\nCenter for Community Change\r\nattention Leigh Dingerson\r\n1536 U Street, NW\r\nWashington, DC 20009\r\n\r\n--To inquire about bulk orders, contact Leigh at ldingerson@communitychange.org or call (202) 339-9349.\r\n
