While I did vote for TRUMP the proposed charter schools will result in the good students leaving the mass schools.
THE FACT IS, that our STANDARDS for educational achievement have fallen from a peak in 1968.
SOLUTION, unfortunately there is no easy POLITICALLY CORRECT ONE. Our competitors spend half what we do per student and our students are in the lower third in terms of achievement. THERE IS NO QUESTION WE ARE NOT GETTING THE RESULTS WE SHOULD FOR THE MONEY WE SPEND.

We should not be looking for a PC solution. We should be looking for a solution that solves the problem.
Political correctness is what has created and fostered the problems.
Our competitors have a significant advantage. Their decision making on what, where, when, who, why or why not is not intimidated by the crippling aversion we have become a slave to....political correctness.
We need to get back to getting the facts as best as can be aggregated. Consult; discuss; conclude; decide; move on with doing what is right to accomplish the task and do what is right.
There will always be those who will be against what is decided. Or those who are offended by what is said or done or not done. It is time to make them aware that their minority position is duly noted as we move forward with the decisions that are for the good of the majority of American and America.
Until that happens we will continue to be an also ran.
We will continue to be out paced by all our competitors and world leaders who will in fact continue to take advantage of the weakness we have.....PC!
