In the documentary “Starving The Beast,” director Steve Mims reveals how a Republican-led attack on public education in the United States has left schools struggling to meet their budgets and students drowning in debt. In this episode of “Behind The Headline,” Mims joins host Mnar Muhawesh to explain why learning is now being treated as a profitable commodity rather than a public good, and how the shift to treating students as consumers has negative implications for both their education and for the country’s future.
