Miller Wants More Segregated, Total Compliance Charter Schools

Charter schools boost segregation, encourage the hiring of highly unqualified teachers, drain money away from starving public schools, and spend public dollars without public oversight. In addition, only 17% of them nationwide score higher than matched public schools on standardized tests.

Is that enough to recommend them to the Honorable Congressman Miller of California (D)?
You bet:
"If our goal is to build world-class schools," Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., said, "we absolutely need to look at high-performing charter schools for research and development and replicate what they are getting right."
