🧵This article lays out the plan Kenney is putting into play here in #ABed. Considering #Bill15 (promotes & eases legislation around charter schools) in conjunction w this govts complete lack of leadership to reopen schools safely-can only be interpreted as market creation.

Lack of leadership, planning and funding for a safe reopening of Alberta public schools is not incompetence, it’s strategic.
It’s deliberate undermining of public education.

“each principal would work with the parents and students at his or her particular school to develop a setup that makes sense for them.”
Imagine what that would look like & how it would differ for communities in Forest Lawn vs Elbow Park? #abed #ableg

What might be the inequity in services provided in Springbank vs Pineridge? Bearspaw vs Vermillion? What of communities unable to set up a charter at all, where public schools become the lowest, least desirable option?

The slow ghetto-ization of public schools as unsafe, unreliable & ineffective is not a bug of Kenney’s plan, it’s a feature.

And in case you’re interested, the article refers to Thomas Sowell.
