Are We Fighting Each Other? (And Why?)
It's becoming apparent that those who fight for charters have their own agenda. I say that because they are not making the argument based just on the merits of charter schools. And, they are certainly not fighting on the merits of this particular charter bill (on which they all seem strangely silent except to say "tool in the toolbox" and "let's try them."
Those who are the leaders in this effort seem to be fighting on two fronts.
One person is Nick Hanauer who believes he speaks for many Dems (and he may be but he offers no evidence). He blames the WEA and he blames Dems for being "stooges". He says the union has not backed any initiatives or any legislation that would challenge the "status quo."
I know this is not true. What is likely true is that the union did not back the measures HE thought
