3.3 million students are enrolled in public charter schools, 70% of whom are Latino and Black. As parents, we choose charter schools because they are the best option for our children. Former NEA union president, Lily Eskelsen García called our schools "misguided reforms" and fought to close them. She'd rather send our kids to failing neighborhood schools than give parents a choice. Senate Republicans and moderate Democrats should oppose her nomination as Education Secretary. She's too extreme.
Why is this important?
As parent advocates we are pushing back on rumored Education Secretary nominee Lily Eskelsen García, who's a fierce opponent of school choice. As Jeanne Allen, president and CEO of the Center for Education Reform, notes in Forbes, "She has compared choice for poor kids to 'snake oil,' and has argued that 'everything about ‘school choice’ leaves students out in the cold.'"
