ROPE Report Short - Julianne Romanello; Why Workforce Training For Students Is Bad

ROPE Report Regular, Julianne Romanello, joined us to talk about Workforce Development and how that translates into funneling children into career paths that will parallel with the needs of businesses the state is courting to come into the state via economic development packages using our tax dollars. 

Essentially, the state gives tax breaks to certain businesses to come to the state. Then, Oklahoma Works, the state agency that connects, "Oklahoma's Workforce System", helps schools and technology centers create training programs for the jobs the courted businesses will need filled. 

So what's wrong with this? Children are propagandized into getting onto a job pathway as early as middle school. Students aren't educated for the sake of making them well-rounded people who can make choices about what they want to be when they grow up, they're put on a pathway to 'choose' the jobs the state most wants to keep for the sake of the economy. 

The emphasis is NOT on students, but on the economy.
