Mitt Romney is a fan of charter schools and in his education speech he said:
We have good teachers, like the ones who are leading New York City’s Democracy Prep. Because of them, kids from the city’s poorest community are outperforming children from the wealthiest. Last summer, these teachers took over the worst elementary school in Harlem rather than let it shut down. Democracy Prep is a testament to good people who refuse to give up on our kids or leave our cities without a fight.
What he doesn’t mention and what he left out is legion, is the good folks at Democracy Prep took over a charter school not a public school.
I wonder what he thinks about the KIPP Charter School being the worse performing school in Northeast Florida last year? Probably nothing because it doesn’t fit into his misinformation campaign.
