John Oliver Takes on Charter Schools

John Oliver did something incredible on his HBO show “Last Week Tonight”: He exposed the waste, fraud and abuse that are far too common in the charter school industry.

From schools that close in the middle of the year to companies that put profits above the well-being of students, the segment should make you angry at the lack of oversight and accountability at institutions our students should be able to rely on. As we know from our work, in too many states oversight is becoming even more lax.

People need to know about this. John Oliver has put the spotlight on bad actors in the charter industry; now it’s up to us to make sure people see the truth. Watch and share his video.
