“As an African American, a lifelong Oakland resident and lifelong Democrat, I think it’s time to call it like it is: so-called “progressives” have lost their way when it comes to public education.”

Let's get something straight: there should be no place in America where charter schools are approved by district school boards. The entire idea of charters is "you can't solve problems at the same level of thinking that created them." tennessean.com/story/news/po… via @tennessean
