Education Under The Obama Administration

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

According to today's New York Post, the Obama Administration has cut $700 million dollars which would have gone to supporting New York's charter school movement.  The United Federation of Teachers, which opposes the charter school movement is seen as the victor in this action. 

The Obama Administration's track record on vouchers and charter schools is not good.  On December 14, 2009, the Washington Post reported that included in the omnibus spending bill passed by Congress was the end of the Washington Opportunity Scholarship Program.  Senators Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bipartisan measure for a reauthorization of this program, but I could not find any reference to this proposal.  In the House, Thomas.gov reported on H. R. 4312, which proposed to fund the voucher program in Washington, D. C.  The status of the bill is currently listed as: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The article at the New York Post details what has gone on in that state concerning charter schools and their funding.  It is a shame that we are dealing with politicians that give a higher priority to the wishes of the unions than to the education of our children.
