"If you think your public school is not working, then go help your public school." - @ewarren to charter parents.

Wow. She couldn't be more condescending & obnoxious if she tried - or hypocritical, seeing where her son went to school.

After a group of charter parents protested her ed plan at a rally in ATL, she told them she sent her kids to public school. Turns out, that wasn't exactly true (these "slips" seem to be a recurring issue for Liz), as her campaign quickly clarified in a statement. #edreform 2/9

In fact, @ewarren sent her son to none other than The Haverford School, a private prep school (serving students in grades pre-K thru 12) outside Philadelphia.

I know Haverford well. I grew up nearby, played sports against them, and have friends who went there. #edreform 3/9

When it comes to the "prep school" stereotype, The Haverford School checks all the boxes.

For starters, it was founded in 1884 (originally connected to nearby top-tier Haverford College) to educate the sons of the Main Line's WASP elite. #edreform 4/9

Today, The Haverford School enrolls approximately 1000 boys who spend their days on what could be easily confused for a college campus. #edreform 5/9

While Haverford is slightly more diverse today than it was earlier in its history, it's still overwhelmingly white (89%) and affluent.

Therefore, your average Haverford family likely looks a lot like the folks below... #edreform 6/9

Haverford's white and affluent student body means they excel at things like lacrosse, water polo, and un-ironically wearing maroon blazers. #edreform 7/9

While there's no question that Haverford provides its students with a first-rate education, they charge a hell of a lot for it.

This year, tuition ranges from $24,000 for pre-k to $39,500 for high school. #edreform 8/9

So, @ewarren sent her son to a fancy prep school, then denied it to charter parents who want better educational options for their kids, and now says those parents don't need options, but instead should "go help" their failing local schools. #edreform 9/x
