Ed Morrissey reports Hot Air. (H/T Neil Simpson)

Excerpt:

A month ago, the Los Angeles Unified School District chose to privatize more than 250 of its campuses in a desperate attempt to reverse decades of decline in the nation’s second-largest school district.

[…]At the time, I wrote that this would have that effect, especially when scores and graduation rates improve. The unions insist that the only difference between charter schools and normal public schools is that parents get more involved in the former, but that’s because parents can get involved in shaping the curriculum at these alternatives. They do not get shut out by a sclerotic union-protection system and a picket fence of federal and state mandates. That allows parents to make a difference, which encourages participation.

There is a great video showing the union bullies and the educrats complaining at Ed’s Hot Air post.
