The Detroit News recently reported the states with the largest percentages of charter school closures since 2000: Kansas (77 percent); Iowa (73 percent); Ohio (58 percent); Wisconsin (43 percent); Virginia (40 percent); Washington, D.C. (39 percent); Arizona (39 percent); Florida (38 percent); Missouri (34 percent); and New Jersey (34 percent).
The findings were according to the Center for Media and Democracy, which is backed by George Soros.
Ideology aside, why are those states and percentages important? Because schools aren’t mere structures built and rebuilt when Democrats, socialists, Republicans and conservatives say eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
