Sinopsis

This Week: Michael Bloomberg, billionaire former NYC mayor and presidential candidate who nobody wanted to hear from, announced this week that he will be spending $750 million to promote charter school expansion across the nation over the next 5 years.  In a scathing opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal he states that “American education is broken” and that charter schools are a “proven alternative.” Mike’s gloves are off in the war on one of the bedrock public institutions in any democratic (small d) society. Manuel and Jeff discuss what this means for educators, and tell mayor stop-and-frisk where he can put his performative rhetoric about  caring or Black, Brown and low income communities.
