(Reason) Matt Damon is moving to Los Angeles, when he arrives, he’ll be sending his own children to private school–no biggie???
In 2011, Damon took on FOX News reporter Michelle Fields over public school teachers, claiming that he was a strong advocate for the public school system.
Hypocrite: Fast forward two years and Damon tells The Guardian that he didn’t have a choice about educational options because public schools are not ‘progressive’ enough.
Michelle Fields reacted on FOX News/Hannity on Wednesday saying, “Actually yes, he (Matt Damon) did have a choice. The people who don’t have a choice are the rest of Americans who don’t have Matt Damon’s bank account and can’t afford to send them (their children) to private school.”
Damon has been critical of various aspects on modern public schooling, including the focus on testing and quantitative measures of success but has been vehemently opposed to alternative providers (especially those capitalists that dare to make a profit) saying that he’ll continue to cheer public education—for other peoples children.
