....as long as they don't get 1 red cent of Public Taxpayer Money.

We already have a Taxpayer Funded Public School System that is a part of our National Commons.
If it is broken, it is our responsibility to FIX IT!!!

Siphoning Off Taxpayer Money to fund Privatized Charter Schools in the White Flight Suburbs or Gentrified Urban Areas
that compete with our Public Schools for funding is NOT acceptable in a Democracy.
Despite all the Rationalizations and Marketing Brochures, Charter School = Private School,
and should be funded strictly by Private Money.
