BOURNE HYPOCRISY: Matt Damon makes anti-school choice movie — but sends kids to private school!

Eag News reports:

Famous movie star Matt Damon continued his crusade against school choice this week with a new documentary about privatization of public schools, despite the fact that his own children attend private school.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts native was in Boston on Wednesday for the debut of “Backpack Full of Cash,” a 90-minute film he narrated about the alleged sins of privatization and school choice, the Boston Globe reports.

“Teachers have been increasingly beat up and devalued for the last two decades, and ultimately we’re all going to pay for that as a society,” Damon told the news site.

He appeared at the screening alongside his mother, Nancy Carlsson-Page, an anti-school choice advocate who helped to kill an effort to expand charter schools in Massachusetts. The film’s producer, Sarah Mondale, is also the daughter of a teacher.

The point of “Backpack Full of Cash” is to decry alleged funding cuts for music and art classes in public schools, and “save” public education.

Are government schools too brown for Matt Damon's liking?
