Is it ironic that an organization supposedly dedicated to the advancement of African Americans join in on a lawsuit against schools that offer Black kids a better education?
In a rational world, it would be.
However we’re dealing with the machinery that makes up the Democrat Party. The NAACP ceased being a relevant institution years ago and is now reduced to being apparatchiks for Democrats. So, it’s no mystery to me that they would side with the United Federation of Teacher’s (UFT) lawsuit to crush charter schools.
Charter schools employ non-union teachers which is one of the reasons why they out perform traditional public schools with their bloated teacher salaries and benefit packages. But, the important thing here to realize is that the UFT wants to continue to collect union dues so they can continue to send it to the Democrat Party. The NAACP is just a tool to keep the spigot open.
This is how little Democrats thinks of Black people. They prefer money for themselves and don’t mind that these kids are locked in failing schools. In fact, it serves a dual purpose. A a failing school system continues to collect union schools, and under educates the very constituency they depend on for votes. A less educated population is susceptible to staying in poverty. That suits the Dems just fine because they’re the party of the little guy.
It’s a vicious cycle!
