WHAT IS needed in New York City is a mass movement of parents and educators demanding quality schools for all students in all neighborhoods. The charter school lobby threatens to undermine the potential for such a movement by trying to pit parents against one another--Black parents discouraged about the prospects of improving their neighborhood schools against parents of English Language Learners, and parents of general education students against parents of students with disabilities. The danger and hypocrisy of the charter school lobbys narrative has been recognized by the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE), which calls for democratic, community-based quality schools available universally rather than by lottery. socialistworker.org/2014/03/24/the-power-to-stop-the-charters
