Walmart receives tax breaks to build more stores. The Walton Family spends its fortune helping CPS close public schools and open charters. Enough is enough! From the Chicago Teachers Union website (http://www.ctunet.com/blog/walton-family-school-reform-initiatives-in-chicago-reveals-true-education-agenda): "As CPS prepared its closure list, the Walton Family Foundation bankrolled a “community engagement process,” with meetings led by Walton-paid consultants, to provide the illusion that the school closure process was open and democratic. Meanwhile, the Waltons also paid $3.8 million in 2012 to open new charter schools in Chicago. Given the Waltons’ strong support of school vouchers and charter schools, public school supporters were deeply skeptical that public opinion was truly meant to be heard and fully considered at these meetings. Media were banned from attending, but Walton Family Foundation staff attended. Now the family is funding a series of ads and videos that the system is using to try to justify the closings."
