[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take away is that large percentages African American and more poor families are self selecting into charters. So those around DCUM who argue that charters are elitist and a bastion for racist white families can now shut up.[/quote] When DCUM think charters, they think CMI, MV, YY. They don't care where poor black kids of DC go to school. Most DCUM don't know poor black people. [/quote] This is the tired old refrain of the WTU and their allies. It's astonishing that one reads that the BLM movement opposes charters, until you realize that their agenda is being shaped by urban teachers unions that are afraid of losing deadwood jobs and influence. Rhee had her faults, but it was interesting when she tried to clean house of the worst teachers, the straight-faced pushback was "these are jobs for the community." The kids were a quaint afterthought for the WTU and its friends.[/quote] +1[/quote]
