$1 Billion In Tax Dollars To Miseducate Our Children:



 "While the proponents of school choice argue that public schools are not properly equipping children for success in the real world and need to be held accountable, they often reject accountability for private schools that use textbooks that not only are overtly sectarian, but pass off highly controversial assertions – or outright falsehoods – as indisputable fact. All too frequently, low-income children and people of color are used as pawns in this push for what amounts to little more than the right to use taxpayer dollars for right-wing indoctrination."

AFT - A Union of Professionals - Charter Schools: "Charter schools hold promise as engines of innovation and reform, but just as there are good and bad public schools, there are good and bad charter schools. Unfortunately, some charter school operators stifle input, exploit their staff, and put profit ahead of students' needs. Teachers working in poorly managed charter schools are the first to acknowledge this reality."
