One of the advantages of charter schools, we are told, is that they enable direct parental input. Another is that they take advantage of the free market to allow free and informed choice. But Charter Schools USA has nullified both advantages with a single action recently with the sending of a Cease and Desist notice to a group of parents voicing their concerns about the school in an online forum. We need to remember that when private enterprise takes over our normal rights and freedoms are abrogated. Lawsuits like this are just the most obvious tip of the treatment we should look to expect in the longer term. This should be taken as a warning. Via Kairos, which has more links, and Slashdot.
