Heightened efforts in recent years to paint public schools as bastions of ideological perversion, sexual permissiveness and anti-white ideology are part of a long-running campaign that is gaining momentum.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro said Republicans' newly proposed funding cuts threaten "the future of an entire generation."
As momentum builds around efforts to divert public funds to private schools, lawmakers and advocates should recommit to opposing harmful voucher bills and supporting greater investment in public education.
The state’s assault on public education includes a charter school real estate grab, a partnership with a fundamentalist Christian private college, and a potential statewide voucher program.
"In their assault on public education, the network has taken actions to increasingly privatize and corporatize K-12 institutions."
“The problem with charter schools isn’t that they’re competing with public schools; it’s that they’re supplanting public schools.”
The U.S. Department of Education has been scammed for hundreds of millions of dollars by fraudulent or mismanaged charter schools.
The Secretary of Education has been touring the country to promote her plan.
