Sanders alleged that the ultra-rich are increasingly working to undermine and privatize public schools.

Senator Bernie Sanders called out billionaires in what he said is a 'coordinated effort' to dismantle the American public school system.In a new report released this week, Sanders last week led a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing week titled The Immediate and Long-Term Challenges Facing Public School Teachers: Low, Pay, Teacher Shortages, and Underfunded Public Schools.

Early data shows that in states that have implemented these programs, 65 percent to 95 percent of those who participate in the voucher programs never attended public schools. That means families who can already afford to pay for private education likely benefit the most, the report said.
