While charters are certainly better than the government's K-12 socialist monopoly and cartel system of schooling the ideal would be complete separation of school and state.

Charters could be a step in that direction in that it would help build the private infrastructure needed to make the transition to complete separation of school and state.

Also...Complaints will be made when the Muslims will immediately take advantage of charters to run religious schools. Well....Then so should Christians and Jews!

Fundamentally, Muslim charter schools are an **immigration** problem and should be resolved through restricting Muslim immigration not by denying freedom to parents desperate to find better schooling options for their kids.

The ONLY ‘solution’ is to return education back to the SERVICE from which it began, payable by the user for services rendered.

Be that vocational, charter, religious or the like. Parents/guardians know what’s best for their brood. PAYERS know best what’s best for their $$.
