[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't love the idea of unlimited money in politics, but to call DFER right wing is comical. I don't know that they're anti-union either, although the union definitely seems ferociously anti-DFER.[/quote]

Yeah I'm also not seeing how "right wing" they are, when they exclusively fund Democrats.  Are some of their ideas appealing to some Democrats?  Yes.  Do some Democrats not like their ideas?  Yes.   [/quote]

It's a gaslighting name, sort of like the anti-democracy groups are called "Americans for ____"

They are funded by the likes of the Koch's, Waltons and Prince/DeVos families.

Hence, right wing.[/quote]

Thank don't make no sense.

Maybe it's possible that certain people across the political spectrum are backing the same ideas.  If Soros funded something is it automatically left-wing?  Bill Gates?[/quote]

No, of course not. But in this case, DFER is advocating for the Charter School system nationally as a means by which to suck public money into de factor religious schools. [/quote]

What is a "de facto religious school"?  [/quote]

Charters operated by churches. [/quote]

is this what you're referring to?

I just read this, and it says that the Center City Public Charters schools used to be Catholic schools.

Uh, having visited two of them, I can say that neither seemed at all interested in Catholicism.  [/quote]
