The Charter School Disaster

Cincinnati.com is reporting that David Brennan, the owner of White Hat Management, refused to testify in front of a state hearing. White Hat is being sued by ten of its own charter schools. White Hat operates 31 charter schools in Ohio and has received over $400 million dollars from the state. Brennan is a big supporter of Ohio Republicans and has contributed approximately $1.5 million to those GOPers.

If you read my other site (http://stubbornliberal.blogspot.com), you are aware of my recent discussion with a teacher employed at a charter school:

The teacher told me that the school
had no windows in the classrooms,
no area for outside play,
no books,
and a principal that did not have the

proper certification.

Where are our tax dollars going if the charter schools are unable to have the proper tools to educate?
