@VirvusJ @IBEWLocal1 Has been raising the alarm about this union for years. I think a lot of people saw it as infighting amongst the labor movement, it really wasn’t. Management captured a labor organization, and corrupted it and started trying to bring IBEW 1 down with them.

“Funding equity” is such a BS thing to call the legislation that just passed the general assembly. It’s really a gift to the Charter School Barons that are trying to get rich from intercepting funding meant to teach kids in St. Louis.

The basic problem with charter schools is the problem with all privatization schemes. You're creating a new "market" that you're asking an overworked parent to navigate. The people with the time and resources to navigate the system will succeed. Others won't.
