The Republican Congress, governors and state elected officials must stop slashing public education funds to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations!
School choice is a good thing, but when school choice is bloated by bartering away public education funds and opportunities in order to boost corporate bank accounts, there's a serious problem.

Public school closings, teacher
lay-offs, abnormally high
student/teacher ratios, text book shortages, crumbling school buildings, the cutting of early
childhood education programs, the cutting of music, art, and physical education
programs. The list goes on and on when it comes to Republican congressional and state elected officials denying equal educational opportunities for all in order to boost quality
education and the corporate bank accounts of the few!
Charter school administrators and
teachers are paid far more than

education tax dollars subsidize the charter school bill!
Charter school classrooms are far better equipped than their public
school counterparts and public education tax dollars subsidize the charter school bill!

want in their classrooms. So, when elected officials brag about high
standardized test scores and college acceptances, the chartered selectivity odds are stacked in charter schools' favor.
Charter schools take over entire
floors and, sometimes, entire buildings in public funded educational facilities. They don’t
have to pay for electricity. They don’t have to pay for heat or building maintenance. The money they save on infrastructure costs are passed on to the slashed infrastructure budgets of the students they choose not to accept.

When you see school choice advertisements promoting vouchers, don’t be fooled. Those ads are funded by the Koch Brothers and other corporate giants to control
and destroy public educational opportunities for selected poor, urban students they choose not to educate.
All public schools should be chartered!
All public schools should be chartered!
Fight for equal educational opportunities!
