Anti-charter Dems
The New York Post ^ | May 14, 2023 | Tim Phares

Kowtowing to the corrupt teachers union is only part of the reason the Democrats oppose the Minisink charter school and other educational choices outside the regular public-school system (“UFT Wins, Harlem Kids Lose,” Editorial, May 11).

The burden of the worst public schools falls disproportionately on minorities, especially blacks.

Thus, school choice disproportionately benefits minorities, giving them a much better educational option and therefore increasing their chances of getting out of poverty and reducing their dependence on liberal politicians.

Democrats cannot allow that.

Democrats seek to maintain poor people (disproportionately minorities) in crime-ridden neighborhoods with no jobs and minimal education.

All their policy choices — from bail reform to opposing educational choice to deliberately pricing unskilled workers out of the labor market — evince that same object.

It’s time to call them out and to get safe neighborhoods, quality housing, educational opportunity and employment for minority neighborhoods to restore the rising black middle class.
