Promotes federal legislation to outlaw charter schools or privately operated public schools with one exception. Charter schools are allowable ONLY for students whose needs are not being met by their local public school and meet the following criteria (students with special needs, credit deficient students, & students who have not yet graduated and are over the age of 18).
For-profit charter schools and for-profit management arrangements shall be banned from receiving public monies. Should our tax dollars be handed over to private organizations who are reaping financial gain?
Protect the landmark Brown v. Board of Education (1954) ruling which stated "Separate but equal is inherently unequal." Public monies should not provide funding to these alternatively run "public schools."
