Neoliberal groups like Joyce Fdtn work with ALEC, Bradley championing school privatization

Penny Pritzker is a honorary member, I suppose.

Call to action from Bruce Dixon

TFA conference upcoming, 
Lotsa material about racist impact of neoliberal Ed "reform" from BD at BAR

The previous book by UIC scholar mentioned in the article looks important as well

High Stakes Education: Inequality, Globalization, and Urban School Reform, Pauline Lipman 

There are some YouTube speeches by her. In one she talks about Arne Duncan's clout list; he helped his corporate cronies get their kids in magnet schools of their choice.

Apparently a great qualification to be Sec'y of Ed.
