Once people learn how to think, it is hard to pour leftist mush into their brains.
Liberal solution: close down places which teach critical thinking skills.

The net result is that public schools are often run as if their main function is to provide jobs to teachers. Whether the children get a decent education is secondary, at best. When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.

de Blasio/Left places the selfish interests of the teachers' unions over the very lives of minority young people ...
Our ideology (and PENSIONS!) override any concern about the actual fate of you ungrateful flesh-and-blood human beings.
To: Vigilanteman
Amen to that...Leftism cannot survive with people that can think for themselves.

Why would anybody who has any concern at all about minority young people or even common decency want to destroy what progress has already been made? The answer, Mr. Sowell, is contained within the question.
Mr. de Blasio HAS no concern at all about minority young people, nor does he have a single shred of common decency.
He is, to be blunt, a worthless piece of garbage.

The people de Blasio is harming helped put him in office.
This is a repeat of the Obama elections.
Some people never learn.

Charter schools are a slap in the face to the Liberal Education Industry. And everyone knows it.
If poor children can be taught in Charter Schools it means ‘public’ schools are failing those same types of students. It also means the excuse that it’s ‘the parents fault’ isn’t necessarily true.
The Education Industry don’t like being shown up...

I still love him, but after Sowell attacked Cruz and preached GOP-e theology a bit, he does not carry quite the same zing as before.
I don’t dislike him, ok?
I’m just wondering HOW he wrote that stuff.
I was deeply shocked.

You nailed that.
By and large charter schools have put public schools to shame in large cities with large numbers of minorities.
The NEA and their affiliates cannot deny the truth of that so they are determined to have those charter schools done away with.

DeBlasio started out as a committed leftist. Now, he’s a typical corrupt political hack, who has used leftist rhetoric and the Democratic left party to achieve power. But, as a hack, he has to give back to his power backers, and the NEA is a big one.
Charter schools, as a performing alternative to the union-run regular schools, are a potential threat to the teachers’ union. Can’t have that.
A similar analysis of paying back the big money backers seems to apply with the horse-carriages. The issue wasn’t the horses, or the livelihood of the drivers. Apparently, the big horse and carriage garage sits on valuable land coveted by developers that DeBlasio is friendly with.
You can say this about him: He tries to pay back his political debts promptly, although without any subtlety.

Black people are starting to recognize and speak out against the public school monopoly on education.
