So sorry I missed Ed Schultz's coverage of Eva Moskowitz charters...with Diane Ravitch.

Very good coverage. Good for him.

Here are more details about Eva's attacks on de Blasio.

Charter school owner Moskowitz, Gov Cuomo battle de Blasio on free space for charters.

She was a darling of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s administration, given free space to expand her charter schools from a single one in Harlem into a network larger than many New York State school districts. Along the way, her Success Academy empire became a beacon of the country’s charter school movement, its seats coveted by thousands of families as chronicled in the film “Waiting for ‘Superman.’ ”

But eight years into her crusade, Eva S. Moskowitz is locked in combat with a new mayor, Bill de Blasio, who repeatedly singled her out on the campaign trail as the embodiment of what he saw was wrong in schooling, and who last week followed his word with deed, canceling plans for three of her schools in New York City while leaving virtually all other charter proposals untouched.

....Most dramatically, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo lent his backing to the charter school rally, standing before cheering crowds outside the State Capitol and saying he would defend charter schools, praising Ms. Moskowitz and implicitly attacking the mayor. “We are here today to tell you that we stand with you,” Mr. Cuomo said. “You are not alone. We will save charter schools.”


de Blasio cancelled 3 of her schools while allowing 5 others to go ahead. The reason? Not one you will hear in the propaganda being spouted.
