The Cartel – Wednesday night movie

Oct 20

Seton Hall College Republicans and the Students for Individual Liberty are teaming up for a showing of “The Cartel” on Wednesday night at 8:30pm in Fahy 124! Facebook event here.

“The Cartel” is a documentary that takes us inside some of New Jersey’s worst public schools to answer the simple question: why do we pay so much for failure? See how schools give up on students, good teachers are silenced, and New Jersey taxpayers get fleeced. From their website:

“These are real children whose lives are being destroyed,” director Bob Bowdon explains.

The Cartel shows us our educational system like we’ve never seen it before. Behind every dropout factory, we discover, lurks a powerful, entrenched, and self-serving cartel. But The Cartel doesn’t just describe the problem.

Balancing local storylines against interviews with education experts such as Clint Bolick (former president of Alliance for School Choice), Gerard Robinson (president of Black Alliance for Educational Options), and Chester Finn (president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute), The Cartel explores what dedicated parents, committed teachers, clear-eyed officials, and tireless reformers are doing to make our schools better for our kids.
