Hundreds of students, teachers and parents marched in Philadelphia on Dec. 9 as part of national protests to demand fair funding for schools. The marchers started at the Philadelphia office of Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett and ended at the offices of Jim Reynolds, CEO of Loop Capital, which made millions of dollars in dirty profits from interest rate swap deals that negatively impacted Philadelphia and other city school districts.
