This is why the Dems like charter schools so much, there is no school board to complain to. Charter Schools are a public/private partnership where property tax dollars go to a private company. Jeb Bush is a large shareholder in a charter school company.

Michelle Obama said during the 2012 campaign Barack has a lot of work to do to change our history and tradition. The Demoncrats in our Republic are continuing the war started by Satan’s children.
“Charter School Says It Will Not Recite The Pledge Of Allegiance”
There was a time I believed them when they said it was all about the Confederate flag.
Now I’m thinking that was a ruse to get their foot in the door and to push a larger agenda.
The spread of libtard progressivism is an utter cancer upon this country as evident with each passing day......
Stop all funds and other support to this anti-American school.
