I don't hate charter schools. Both of my sons attended a charter school. I don't mind outside money from small donors like yourself. But PACs funded by deep-pocketed  monied interests have a corrupting influence. Where would Goulet be without DFER backing? That's the only thing that made him a significant candidate. Moreover, DFER in particular is dishonest about its agenda. If it just came out and said, "we want to privatize public schools so that our hedge fund backers can make money from education" that would be fine. Instead, they act like they are concerned about crime or whatever issue polls well. [/quote]
PP here. You almost had me. I agree that unchecked spending can maybe have a negative influence. But the idea that hedge fund people want to "privatize the schools" (does that mean charter?) so they can "make money" is laughable. Hedge fund people don't need charter schools to make money. I don't even know how they'd do that. Seems like a conspiracy theory talking point.[/quote]
