Feds Continue to Shovel Money to Charter Scams
If you have ever wondered why fewer than 1 in 5 charter schools (17 percent to be exact) in the U. S. has higher test scores than the public schools that are being replaced by these segregated charters, look no further than the unattended and unregulated open money pits that corporatists inside the U. S. Department of Education have made available to any scam artist with the chutzpah to put together a fraudulent charter school grant application.
You can bet that when Public School Enemy #1, Chris Christie, has his hatchet man, Cerf, reject a charter school application in New Jersey that it must smell worse than a boat ride on Newark Bay. And yet that has not stopped Duncan's boys at ED from approving a charter grant to the same smelly application that Cerf rejected, to the tune of $600,000.
And how did this get by the "heavy-handed Federal watchdogs" that Newt Romney is always crying about?
