Isn't it grand that corporatism has infiltrated every aspect of our lives? Advertising is everywhere. On the internet, on your cellphone, in the street, in sport venues, in festivals, in parades, on television and now in school. What am I missing? I'm sure I forgot something since it has penetrated it's greedy finger into virtually every part of this forsaken culture.
Absurd as it may sound, that will soon be a figurative reality for many students in Los Angeles county, as public school officials there have announced a plan to solicit corporate sponsorship to help grow their budgets and retain staff.
In a unanimous vote, the board decided yesterday to allow "corporate brand identity" proliferation throughout the facilities of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The district's policy would allow corporate donors to earmark what programs they'd like their money to support, be they sports, arts or academic.
