The “facts” don’t matter
…at least not to Kelly Munn, State Field Director of the League of Education Voters (LEV), when it comes to charter schools.
During Munn’s presentation this week praising the glories of charter schools, one of the images she showed during her rather weak Power Point presentation were the words The “fact’s” don’t matter. She said that approving or disapproving of charter schools was simply a matter of “values”, either you like them or you don’t.
That’s quite a simplistic message to share with others when it comes to pushing the agenda of privatizing our schools here in the state of Washington. Don’t let the facts weigh you down when determining whether charter schools should be allowed in our state. Hmmm. It’s interesting how big the ed reformers are on data, evaluations and studies and yet here Ms. Munn is saying that the “facts don’t matter”. Which way is it Ms. Munn?
