A
leading conservative intellectual defends charter schools against the teachers'
unions, politicians, and liberal educators who threaten to dismantle their
success.
The black-white educational
achievement gap -- so much discussed for so many years -- has already been
closed by black students attending New York City's charter schools. This might
be expected to be welcome news. But it has been very unwelcome news in
traditional public schools whose students are transferring to charter schools.
A backlash against charter schools has been led by teachers unions, politicians
and others -- not only in New York but across the country. If those attacks succeed,
the biggest losers will be minority youngsters for whom a quality education is
their biggest chance for a better life.
