Charter Schools, Public Funding, Tax Breaks and Privatization

The charter school movement is embodied in an attack on public school unionized teachers, and seeks to put publicly funded schools in private hands.

They're in it for the tax breaks, government guarantees and the chance to make some more money, all with public dollars.
