Thank you Ebony Murphy-Root. In part: What I learned is that reformers disguised as critics of the status quo are thieves hiding in plain sight. They are guilty of the following: Commandeering the charter school movement, which was originally designed to be a space for exploring innovation in education, for financial gain. Schools have no business as publicly traded entities in the same stock portfolio with privately owned prisons. Lobbying elected officials and finance campaigns to intentionally cut resources to traditional public schools. They have not once supported the Campaign for Fiscal Equity to restore public school funding. Convincing parents to give up their power by supporting traditional public school closures in exchange for privately managed charters with no public oversight. Cleverly using civil rights language to rob students of their own civil right to an appropriate education.
