Juan Gonzalez has been watching the evolution of charter schools in Néw York for over a decade. He has recorded the growth of an industry that gets public funds with no oversight or accountability. Now a new report confirms his worst suspicions.

May I suggest watching the segment on the Democracy Now website and also supporting this truly excellent news program?

Also, consider supporting the Center for Media & Democracy which released the report:

These two organizations demonstrate incredible integrity.

The irony is that the feds and states want to nail teachers to the wall in the name of
“accountability,” but the federal government can spend obscene amounts of money on unproven, wasteful schools while they starve public eduction. What a bunch of hypocrites! It is is just another form of corporate welfare.
