Some things never change

THE latest evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, the oldest and most extensive system of vouchers and charter schools.

Who is surprised that the usual trolls try to change the subject from charter schools doing much better than govt schools in NYC, to charter schools with an average record in Milwaukee?
 
Mayor Bill de Blasio, seeking to curb the influence of outside providers of education, said on Thursday that he would block three charter schools from using space inside New York City public school buildings

Still, Mr. de Blasio, who was a strident critic of charter schools during his bid for mayor last year, showed signs of compromise. In reviewing 49 proposals to share school space approved under Mr. Bloomberg, he left untouched a majority of plans affecting charter schools.

His position puts him at odds with fellow Democrats, including President Obama and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who has helped expand the schools across the state.

Liberal dilemma: which shitbag do we support?

Pseud-Con dilemma: What to use as a deflection when the OP headline premise is proven false.

Mayor de Blasio is not fighting to keep segregated schools like Gov. Wallace was doing.
 
For the terminally willfully stupid:

The American Independent Party is a far right political party of the United States that was established in 1967 by Bill and Eileen Shearer. It is most notable for its nomination of former Alabama Governor George Wallace, who carried five states in the 1968 presidential election running on a segregationist platform. The party split in 1976 into the modern American Independent Party and the American Party. From 1992 until 2008 the party was the California affiliate of the national Constitution Party, with its exit from the Constitution Party leading to a leadership dispute during the 2008 election.

go get your proof
 
Remember when Democrat governor Geroge Wallace stood defiantly in a schoolhouse doorway to keep black children out?

Some things never change.


These charter schools had arranged with the New York government to use buildings that had been sitting idle during these schools' hours, and had been turning out students with vastly superior grades and achievements when compared to students of NYC's goverment schools.

Their results were a real slap in the face to traditional govt schools. And now the govt has struck back, kicking out the charter schools. So the building now stand idle once again, and some of NYC's best-performing schools have lost a priceless opportunity.

The people of New York voted for DiBlasio.

They're getting the government they deserve.

It's true. Some things never change. Fauxrage and Truthiness go hand in hand. I'm sure deep down in your gut, you felt like Big Brother was kicking out all the Charter Schools didn't you?

In explaining the changes, city officials noted that some plans approved by Mr. Bloomberg would have required elementary school students to attend class inside high school buildings, and others would have required cutting programs for students with disabilities.

“There was a rush to make these decisions by the previous administration,” Mr. de Blasio told reporters on Thursday. “We decided that some of these were not fair, did not make sense, and we took action.”

In limbo since Mr. de Blasio’s victory in November, many charter school leaders were relieved that the new mayor had left most of their programs intact. "
