charter schools puts the money and power associated with education into the hands of corporate interests and billionaires. It allows them to bypass the job security, pay structure and other benefits of unionized employees, giving them power over those employees, because they dictate employee security (or lack there of), pay and benefits. Usually in a way that makes the corporation/billionaire more wealthy, at the expense of the worker. It also allows them to bend curriculum to their will.
I remember a runners club for disabled and disadvantaged kids (usually both). It started out benefitting the poor kids greatly. The group helped those kids with training the cost of entering races or to get transportation to track events. Then the middle classers came in. These folks had state paid aids watching there kids and had enough money to pay for their kids races and transport. During one meeting the middle classers demanded equal monetary benefits for lodging transportation and race fees. They got it. Then the money got dilluted and the poor folks couldnt afford to go to events anymore. But the middle classers did. So a group of folks who could afford the expenses got an entitlement and the ones who needed it got too little and thus only half the group (the more wealthy) benefited. This inequality is vouchering in a nutshell.
True. Those that have been paying to segregate themselves into private schools, including religious schools, are now demanding the same benefits given to lower income people that can't afford private schools. While corporate interests and religious organizations get access to revenue they haven't had access to.

Very good example
