Recently Gavin Newsom threatens parents with penalties for hiring tutors. The law, passed in January 2020, AB-5, imposes stiff penalties for not hiring tutors as employees.
Remember the little red school house, a dozen or so kids and one teacher? Back it comes!.
Charter schools get no support by NAACP. Â Why? Â Because the NAACP supports the teacher unions and cares less about education choices available for young black children. Does that make sense? No.
Black families want Charter SchoolsÂ
Public schools whose teachers are unionized  fail to teach children.  Publicly funded charter schools – with  no unions – succeed in teaching children.
Only 39 percent of students in New York state schools who were tested recently scored at the “proficient” level in math.
 In contrast,  100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy scored at that level in math.
Blacks and Hispanics are 90 percent of the students in the Crown Heights Success Academy — a charter school funded by taxpayers.
More than 43,000 families are on waiting lists to get their children into charter schools. Â Â
Teachers unions are opposed to any alternative to public education and contribute to politicians who place obstacles and restrictions on the expansion of charter schools.
The NAACP, at its 2016 national convention in Cincinnati, voted to support “a moratorium on the proliferation of privately managed charter schools.” Â Remember Martin Luther King’s dream?

NAACP opposes publicly funded charter schools
It’s easy to understand why the NAACP is against any alternative to public schools. Many of its members work in public education.
However, many of those people do want alternatives for themselves.
In Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, 25 percent of public-school teachers send their children to private schools. In Philadelphia, 44 percent of teachers send their children to private schools. The percentages are similar in several other cities: Cincinnati, 41 percent, Chicago, 39 percent and Rochester, New York, 38 percent.
