Sen. Bernie Sanders is calling for a temporary halt to public funding directed toward nonprofit charter school expansion and an outright ban on for-profit charter institutions.
One day after the 65th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision,
Sanders' plan also sets baselines for per-student spending nationwide and a salary floor for teachers of $60,000, and are part of a larger set of policies Sanders, I-Vt., will announce Saturday.
A 2017 Associated Press analysis found that"charters are vastly over-represented among schools where minorities study in the most extreme racial isolation" while the nation's public education system has become more segregated overall over the past 30 years, according to a recently released report by researchers at Penn State University and the University of California, Los Angeles.
However, one of Sanders' progressive opponents was quick to defend charter schools. Tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Andrew Yang took to Twitter and said charter schools shouldn't be attacked as a whole.
