This is the new normal, too. More and more we are told that public institutions fail us, are not told the reasons for when they do fail, and are presented with a dizzying array of private options, that only some of us will benefit from… then we are told it’s “progress” and the way things should be. This is the new neo-liberal order, guaranteed to free us as “individuals”, in such a way that only some of us are in a position to take advantage of, coding those who aren’t as “lazy” and unable to cope with the real world, and hence unworthy of attention.
But yeah, words fail me too. This is horrible and I feel for the kids of Philadelphia. They deserve better.
