#1 The charter schools were a way to get out from under the mediocrity of teacher union run schools. Unions were the bane of the 20th century, and should be religated to the "dust bin of history" which the 20th century is history.

#3 Question to anyone familiar with Buffalo (tw, perhaps?):

how many of these charter schools or proposed new ones were created to teach radical Islam to the large community there?

#5 I don't know, lotp. My high school, Amherst Central, was top fifty public high schools in the U.S. back in the 1970s, and is still quite good. Mr. Wife went to Lackawanna, which was not at all and now caters to a vocal Muslim minority, mostly Yemeni. I'll ask my mother and report back.
