The Goal Of Charter Schools Is Resegregation, Religion Taught In Schools, White Supremacist Agenda.

and a neo Nazi political agenda. It is a conservative movement to crate society separated by class, race and religion.

1. I love the typo.

[TheMastersNemesis]

2. Fixed

[njhoneybadger]

3. Yes,plus the money involved

[gratuitous]

4. Don't forget breaking the teachers' unions

As well as funneling money into the overstuffed pockets of the bandits who promulgate this nutty idea that the education of our children is a profit center.

5. Every year I read about a charter school going belly-up.

The students and the teachers are locked out of the building, most times the school owes them back wages, meanwhile the big guys at the top have run off, taking lots of money they grabbed.

6. Nah, that's an exaggerration.

It would be more reasonable to suggest that the goals of the conservative movement in favor of Charter Schools replacing public schools are those you enumerate. Not all Charter Schools (or private schools, since that is all Charters are) reflect those goals, and in fact some are diametrically opposed to them. The same can be said of home schooling schemes: while many choose Home Schooling for the reasons you attribute, others choose it because they think the local public schools are inadequate to supply a modern, liberal education for their children. Imagine a well-educated, liberally-inclined couple stuck in a school district where the overwhelming majority wants to teach Young Earth Creationism and have Bible readings in every class. Where do they turn to rightly educate their children?

7. Never thought about it before...

This is probably why they're fine with school shootings. More motivation for parents to pull kids out of public school and ensconce them in a "safe" academy.

13. That awful aspect occurred to me too, a couple weeks ago. Even more

reason for privatized elite schools with tight security. But it's still possible to have a deranged shooter surface, anywhere.

Agree that goals are to segregate, profit, Christianize, discriminate, de-educate society and break public unions & schools.

8. Not in Rhode Island.

they are strictly regulated by the state.

[bitterross]

9. Yes, it most certainly is!

I agree whole-heartedly.

10. Here in Arizona

It seems like the goal of charter schools is to defund public schools and to leave the public schools as a dumping ground for be for low income or special needs students

[TheMastersNemesis]

12. Precisely Apartheid By Race, Class, Religion, Sexual Orientation, Et Al.

[aikoaiko]

11. yes, in some cases it is, but not in all.
