The Cancer Grows

 The new Mayor of New York approved 14 of 17 new charter schools. This insult resulted in the Democratic governor and legislature passing legislation that...

• established a right to space for charter schools within overcrowded public schools up to and including the right to push all public students out, 
• public schools have to pay for private space rented by new charter schools, 
• increased funding for students going to charter schools.

Who wanted this? Hedge fund managers, charter school operators backed by billionaires, politicians in need of campaign dollars, the usual suspects.
