charter schools are, by design, punitive and racist Part 8,698
recall what predominately black charter school students in New Orleans wrote in their list of grievances about "school discipline" after a 2013 walk out media.nola.com/education_impa… 
this patronizing, neocolonial attitude about "discipline" & "preparing students" (see: black students) for the so-called "real world" is at the heart of the charter school movement. The problem, again, isnt systemic racism or poverty it's a lack of submissiveness & good manners.
when most charter advocates say they want to prepare black students for "the real world" they mean, at worst, prison & at best lower middle mgmt. Billionaire charter backers send their kids to hippie dippie Montessori schools but expect prison-like "discipline" for lower classes
