Last edited Tue Sep 9, 2014, 12:42 PM - Edit history (1)
The House of Representatives recently passed a measure that would hand $300 million dollars worth of taxpayer money over to charter schools. Not only are these schools typically run by corporations who are looking to make a profit, but they are ripe with fraud.
Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and Ruth Conniff, editor of The Progressive Magazine, discuss whats happening.
