发帖数: 29846 | 1 Flailing de Blasio On the Run: “I’ve never been against charter schools”

This pathetic schmuck vowed to do away with charter schools since he’s in
the back pocket of the teacher’s unions. But a funny thing happened on his
way to steamrolling them: The public is fighting back. Two months into his
term he’s down in Obamaville approval-wise, is being called Oblasio and is
now even getting hammered on MSNBC.
Mayor Bill de Blasio spent nearly half an hour this morning talking
education on Morning Joe, where he got an earful from the show’s hosts, Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who hammered the new mayor for his
allegedly antagonistic stance toward charter schools.
“I don’t understand your positions on charters,” stated Mr.
Scarborough. “The waiting list is 50,000. And it’s not a bunch of rich
kids from Manhattan that want to get in there, it’s some of the poorest,
most disadvantaged children of colors.”
“For me, charter schools make sense because they can teach us how to
make the entire public school system better. Why not expand, why not open
the doors, figure out a way to let that 50,000 get into new charter schools?
… We can learn from these charter schools some things that are working,”
he continued.
Ms. Brzezinski further brought up Mr. de Blasio’s 16-year-old son,
Dante, as she inquired about some charter co-locations recently canceled by
the de Blasio administration.
“Let me ask it this way mayor: With all due respect, your son goes to–
is it Brooklyn Tech? Has a $13 million endowment, it’s a highly-selective
school; you’re very excited, I’m sure, that he goes there. If you found
out that he wasn’t going there next year, wouldn’t you want to know what
the plan was? Do you think you played this out in a way that might not have
been effective?” she asked.
Mr. de Blasio insisted he had nothing against charter schools, but he is
focused on the broader student population. ”I’ve never been against
charter schools,” he said. “I have to worry about 1.1 million kids a year.
By the way, only 70,000 go to charters. But I care about those 70,000.”
Sure he does. Which is why he’s kicking kids out of these schools. Video at
