RAVITCH: Joe Biden's brother runs a for-profit charter school and said this:
Joe's thinking of running for president.
This might be a sign of where he'll stand on Wall Street's drive to break teachers unions and privatize public education.
On this issue, we need two parties to choose from and our choice right now is between a party that is aggressively pushing the corporate agenda and another that would like to AND starve traditional schools of more funding.
If you were a teacher, who would you vote for?
The party that wants to turn your career into a McJob that puts profits before pupils and teachers, or the one that wants to do it even faster?
He said,
“It’s all about the 501(c)(4) and how much money we get in it,” he said. “And we go see our friends and we tell them we’ll support them. And we go see our enemies and look ‘em in the eye and say we’re going to take you down.”
In that state, charters give handsomely to politicians and have a lock on the legislature.
Biden spoke truth.
At a conference in Florida celebrating Nationsl School Choice Week.

He's been a supporter of public schools so far. No reason to think he'll switch.
Some people don't like him because he works with, you know, President Obama. 
He lives in Tenn. and is a very bigoted asshole. He thinks I am wasting my time volunteering to help less fortunate people. So by all means judge me by what he says and does!
