About 11,000 charter-school students and their parents descended
on the state capitol building in Albany on Tuesday to protest New
York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to block two new charter
schools from opening next year and to halt the expansion of a
third.
De Blasio will allow 16 other charter schools to move forward
with their plans to open next year. So what does he have against
these three schools in particular? The answer: He’s settling an old
political score on behalf of his cronies in the teachers union.
