[quote=Anonymous]The entire charter movement was not founded and run by Republicans. Many civil rights organizations serving low-income people and people of color support charters as an alternative to traditional public schools. Some progressive foundations support them. Close to home, Mundo Verde was founded by liberals who wanted a multicultural, bilingual, green school. Does multicultural, Spanish-speaking, and green sound like a Republican conspiracy to you? With charters as with everything else, it's not black and white. OP, I don't see how politics have a place in parental involvement in school. Parents raise money, chaperone field trips, serve on committees that discuss budgets, volunteer in classrooms, and back a shit-ton of cupcakes. I'm sure most of my fellow parents in a DCPS school are Democrats because of DC's demographics but it has honestly never come up in any school-related interaction. [/quote]
