Right-Wing Charter Schools Looking For Toehold In Michigan ::posted Sat, 24 Jan 2015 18:00:01 +0000:: ift.tt/1D3ctoE The John Birch Society or some facsimile thereof is on the move, and theyre aiming at charter schools in Michigan. Chris Savage at Eclectablog has an alarming post about it: Back in 2011, a man named Pasquale “Pat” Battaglia posted a blog entry on the website of the Lapeer County Tea Party Patriots titled “The God and Country Education Project”. In it, he introduces something he calls “American Christian Academies” and denounces the “progressive” movement who he says have taken “less than 3 generations to completely obliterate our schools”. Fast forward two years to 2013. The American Christian Academies website no longer exists but Battaglia is still trying to set up a charter school to fight off evil progressives. He published an eerily similar post on the Brighton Tea Party’s website, this time titling it “K-12 Tuition Free Classical Academy for Brighton”. Keeping the ACA acronym, Battaglia rebranded his Christian Academy to be a “Classical” Academy. In the post, he uses much the same language but has snipped out references to religion. read more [Forwarded by the MyLeftBlogosphere news engine. Link to original post below:]
