    Billionaires avoid taxes. Tax-starved public schools make teachers buy their own supplies. Now the billionaires want to save those schools?https://twitter.com/BisforBerkshire/status/1047851691431940096 …

        Not to mention they don’t have connection to the communities they wish to “transform” or experience with educational contexts save for their own schooling. Yet, resource-starved districts are beholden to their expectations, ideas for reform, & ways of reporting.

        Wait-aren't those the same billionaires who got a huge gift from the #TaxScamBill? Their paid taxes could have been used for just this. Now they want to look like philanthropists.

        This is brilliant. And a wake up call to not be so quick to brand these rich men(in particular) as saviors.
