Charter School Firm Attacks Online Criticism

Posted by timothy on from the so-here's-some-more dept.

Lane writes "News-Press.com reports that 'Charter Schools USA is threatening legal action against parents who use an Internet discussion board to air grievances about Gateway Charter.'" This despite comments which the parents say are based on the public record, and posted anonymously.

    It seems to be a pack of illiterate idiots on that website. I would wager they're collectively stupid enough to have committed libel at some point. Here's hoping their kids learn to read and write better than the parents did.

    Incidentally, how come this is interesting but the DNS hijack that brought down google.com and microsoft.com is not newsworthy? What the hell is going on?

    I hope that parents will vote with their money and send their kids to school elsewhere.

    Until our woefully underfunded (and therefore underperforming) public schools are sold to these charter school companies because "private enterprise can do it better." Then everyone who can't get into private schools will have to send their kids to them.

    All because "it's not the government's money, it's your money."
