BILL CLINTON SUPPORTS CHARTER SCHOOLS.
In a conversation with Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Clinton says private sector involvement is key to progress in education. One of the most encouraging developments in New Orleans since Katrina is "the growth of what we call charter schools," he said. "About half the New Orleans public schools now that have been reopened are charter schools. It's changed the whole sense of the community, from a sense of hopelessness to a sense of empowerment, not that miracles have been performed."

He has for a long time. He along with HRC announced his program funding charter initiatives at our charter school (California charter school #1) in 1998.

The most DLC of DLC bullshit. Nobody gives a shit about this right now, Bill. Besides, if all public schools are charter schools, then charter schools are public schools. If not, it just another way of tracking and keeping the least privileged students isolated. Just listen to the god-damned teachers, Democrats. They know what the hell they are talking about, a lot more than the Pete Peterson's of the world. What a waste of everyone's time.
