The DNC Platform: “The new platform articulates support for parents who opt their children out of standardized tests, and opposes the use of test scores to evaluate teachers and administrators. The platform also is more conditional in its support for charter schools–stating that they must “accept and retain proportionate numbers of students of color, students with disabilities, and English language learners,” and that charters must not “replace or destabilize traditional public schools.””
I have wondered what are the “asks” of HC’s loyal base of POC supporters and not gotten much feedback. So I was surprised to come across this clear ASK, that gets almost NO MSM coverage…Stopping the privatization of public schools.
A comprehensive article on the anti-charter efforts of NAACP since 2010. I would hope there is better support than the DNC platform admits.
