Through the Walton Family Foundation, Walmarts owners have given grants to 1 in every 4 charter start-ups in the country, for a total of $335 million. “When lots of charter schools open up, it’s like a new Walmart store moving in. You could look at it and say, ‘Well, the schools in a community are losing families because of healthy competition the same way that the hardware store is losing customers because of healthy competition.’ But that doesn’t take into account the long-term harms to the community, which are probably greater than any short-term benefit.” nyti.ms/1mRiWhB
