I’d say this has a lot more to do with charter school legislation enabling grifters to syphon public money with little oversight.

I’d agree except for the data showing many students lie about their race on applications by saying they are part of a minority group in the hopes of having better chances at getting in, so it’s not just charter schools. If you create a vulnerability this obvious in a system, it WILL be exploited, and the ultimate victimes will be those you were trying to help.

You just described the entire tax system. Siphoning money from the public with little oversight.

Well if we get taxed, that money might as well not mysteriously disappear in incestuous city councils filled with family members and friends giving each other huge salaries doing nothing all day, and awarding overpriced contracts to other family & friends businesses. Whatever happened to the 3 Trillion Covid bill…

I agree - that was a complete fucking scam. Just like a lot of charter schools. Not everything is ridiculous - but no doubt the US has so much bloat and contract bullshit.
That said - its would be cheaper and better to have universal healthcare and the government providing a lot of basic services rather than contracting them out.
