Charters for all that cant afford to fight back?

The union said 88 percent of students affected by Chicago school closings or other actions in the past decade were African-American and most closed schools were in poor areas.
The union also has complained that the district has been expanding charter schools, which are public but mostly non-union, while closing neighborhood schools.
"We have all these schools that are underutilized, but they continue to open new schools," Lewis said. "There's a disconnect with that."

There is more to being a public school than ripping off taxpayers.
