For many liberals, “integration” of schools - which they define as sharing the same physical space - is the goal. So when we come talking about equal access to the, which doesn’t require proximity or permission, they see themselves as already having met their social justice goals

Who would oppose school choice for low income black children. In 1865 and 2022, it’s the people with a financial interest in keeping them in a bad situation.

This is the dilemma many Black people face.
I am and always have been a @TheDemocrats, which has become virtually impossible for me to stomach nc of the obscene spending strategies of the party whose solution remains, spend more. Sadly, though, the @GOP refuses to police the overtly racist faction that runs their party.

I commended the support for reproductive choice, but can’t help wonder why @JoshShapiroPA and @GovernorWolfPA don’t show school choice support.

Glad you came to town. You know our city and we’re fortunate to have you join us. Black and brown families demand more and better educational options. What we’re asking of this city and state is just meet the demand. #FCCS

Amazing that @GovernorTomWolf and @PADeptofEd spent three years on charter regs, but not one word on barriers to entry for minority operated schools. #blackagencymatters #blackschoolsmatter @davidphardy

My heart actually breaks for Black ppl who are unwilling to see that neither party has our back. If they do, then what the hell are they waiting for? Open the banks to increase loans, remove barriers to becoming a teacher, reform the justice system now.

I voted for Biden because he was running against Trump not because I thought he would take up the cause of Black people. When he announced he had “our backs” I could only laugh. CIndy Martens is his version of “having our backs.” Do I need to say more? #TheStruggleContinues

If charter schools magically disappeared, would Philadelphia district schools be funded in a manner similar to surrounding suburban districts? Nope. So, why fight to cut charter school funding instead of fighting for fair funding for all schools?
