...as long as they don't receive One Damned Nickle of Public Money.

We already fund a Public School System.
It is one of our Commons.
The Public Schools System belongs to us,
and it is our responsibility to administer it for the benefit of Our Nation and Our Children.
If it is broken,then we must FIX IT,
NOT de-fund it by allowing Privatized sources to siphon off the money.

No matter HOW they try to spin it,
"Charter" Schools are NOT Public Schools.
They are NOT transparent or accountable to The Public.
They ARE "private" institutions,
and should be funded by "private" money only.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
