New York City Council Member Julie Menin has proclaimed that she is a “long-time critic of co-locations for charter schools” – opposing the ability for public charter schools to use empty classrooms or school buildings to teach public charter school students.
While standing loudly and proudly against basic charter school operations, Council Member Menin also told the Gothamist in a candidate questionnaire that she sends her three kids to private schools.
While New York City working class families seek better school options for their kids, Julie Menin stands in their way.
What’s it to her? Menin’s kids are already safely tucked away at elite private schools, like The Dalton School, where she sent one of her kids.
It seems the louder that a politician shouts their opposition to school choice options for working families, the likelier it is that their own children are already enrolled in the most elite private institutions that money can buy.
