Producers V. Consumers In CO

In CO, some school districts are suing to get back their exclusive control over public schooling. At issue is the statewide charter institute championed by Democrat Terrance Carroll. Carroll, a friend, championed the institute as a way to ensure that more minority kids were served by charter schools in CO and that there was more attention to quality. Two larger issues: First, again racing to court isn’t in the best interest of public education. Second, not to put too fine a point on it but Carroll, an African-American Democrat, is largely fighting white liberals here. Considering the demographic trends in the country, not to mention the equity issues, that sure seems like a potential political problem.
