Hide Your Children and Your Wallets: Bevin's Privatizers Are Coming for Them
And the fight to turn Kentucky's public schools over to privatizers far worse than the motherfuckers who run private prisons like the Spanish Inquisition begins the next round.
Gov. Matt Bevin’s push for charter schools in Kentucky gained ground Wednesday when his appointees were among those who pressed the Kentucky Board of Education to call a work session in November to help members develop a position.
Currently, 43 states have legislation that allows charter schools, but Kentucky does not. Kentucky Board of Education members want to develop a position in advance of the 2017 General Assembly.
House Democrats in Kentucky’s legislature have previously blocked charter school legislation. Charter schools can be public or private and can take different forms. Legislation that the House blocked in 2016 called for a pilot program in Fayette and Jefferson counties. That legislation said that charter schools would be part of the state’s system of public education, but the schools would be exempt from some laws and regulations applicable to the state board of education and local school districts. Charter schools would have been tuition-free and non-profit with no religious affiliation under that proposal.That is FALSE, Mr. Pruitt, assuming you are not deliberately lying through your repug, Bevin-cock-sucking teeth.

Kentucky Education Commissioner Stephen Pruitt said he wasn’t sure that everyone was defining charter schools the same and that the board needed to have a broader conversation. He said charter schools can be effective but he’s not ready to say they are the only answer to closing achievement gaps between minority, low-income and disabled students and other students.
There is only one definition of charter schools and it is this: the mechanism through which public tax dollars for public education are turned over to private corporations for private profit. No "education" involved.
