For many reasons, I once enrolled my oldest child in a charter school.
I don’t deserve to be hated for doing that, especially by someone who is a candidate for the highest office in the country where I pay taxes; a country for which my grandfathers fought multiple wars, and a country that can’t even bring itself to apologize for its legacy of denying education to my people.
This is my message for New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who recently fell ill with a trashy fit of apple polishing before the nation’s largest teachers union, where he advertised his “hate” for supporters of charter schools.
