Critiques of #CharterSchools usually focus on poor quality education (disproportionately affecting racialized and poor people) and dangerous ideology (the movement is funded by billionaire dilettantes and religious maniacs), and with good reason!

Charters hand public funds to private institutions with minimal oversight. Public money should not go to schools that endorse slavery and indigenous genocide, nor schools that deny evolution and claim humans and dinosaurs co-existed.

Charter students know they're getting substandard educations - that's why the 2019 valedictorians for Detroit’s Universal Academy used their speech to denounce the school, its curriculum and administrators.

Naples, FL: A @Hillsdale charter school was founded by two then-Collier school board members, @erikadonalds & Kelly Lichter in 2014. They advocated for more resources for charter schools while on the school board & undermined district leadership, tinyurl.com/y8r97tsf /1
enabled frivolous legal challenges, and made false accusations. While in office, they set up consulting firms to start new classical academies. Neither ran for re-election. DeSantis appointed Donalds to his ed transition team. tinyurl.com/yyxlrdgj /2
Lichter is President of the Board of MCA. Parent grievances are not heard. Families who aren't satisfied have one choice: to transfer out. Even the Donalds withdrew their kids (see district report). This is market accountability. This is the #schoolchoice in action. /3
