I have nothing against Charter (Private) schools,
as long as they do NOT receive one red cent of OUR money.

If somebody wants a "Charter School",
let them fund it from PRIVATE sources.

The USA already has a Public School System.
If it is broken,
it is OUR responsibility to FIX it,
NOT steal money from it.
