Trying to improve your kid's school? We'll throw you in jail!A follow-up to this story about the efforts of the teacher's union to prevent a charter school from opening in Sacramento: Matt Cox reports on National Review Online that the charter school, run by former NBA player Kevin Johnson's St. HOPE organization, has opened for the start of school season. This was accomplished despite threats by supporters of the union to imprison the school board members by suing for contempt of court for voting in favor of the charter school. Previously, a local judge had ruled that the original school charter was invalid, but St. HOPE managed to submit a second successful petition. |
