Our paper is a cautionary tale that, like all such tales, opens with the statement of a warning about social entrepreneurship in schools. As the narrative unfolds, this warning is disregarded, and the violator ultimately experiences an unpleasant fate. Using the large-scale data available on Instagram, this paper reveals in detail how WE represented itself, how others perceived it, and how it worked in and with schools to achieve its corporate goals. We conclude the tale by discussing how, by delinking education from corporate interests, schools may serve equity and the public good instead of creating brand fanatics in the service of elite interests.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Canadian Journal of Education/Revue canadienne de l’éducation}, author={Karsgaard, Carrie and Shultz, Lynette}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={99–127} }
