Parents rage at Albany over charter-busting bill
Angry parents yesterday ripped Albany for putting the teachers union before kids, as lawmakers moved to block the expansion of charter schools -- jeopardizing New York state's bid to win $700 million in federal education funds.
'They know better. My son be damned!' fumed Dan Clark, whose son, Dan Jr., is an eighth-grader at Democracy Prep Charter in Harlem.
'What this fight is really about is power and money,' Clark said. 'The legislators are afraid of the unions.'"
