Oh, come on, Dale.  This is like saying that since Henry Kissinger
breathes air, air must be bad for us.

I don't know if Dewey ever specifically addressed the issue of corporate
infiltration of schools, but Paul Goodman, also on my list, is quite
vehement in his opposition to it.  There's no particular correlation
between progressive education and corporations -- if anything, the
opposite.  Corporations are the ones that put bells in school to teach
kids to march in lock-step.
