I thought that designation was kind of odd anyhow; I guess each state has different laws of how they designate "private" and "public" schools.  Most states have "public" charter schools, that are funded by taxpayer funds to different extents - those schools are not a part of a public school district, or under that district's supervision, but they are required to do state testing and comply with some other state and federal rules.  Once a religious element is added, they become designated as a "private" school, whether or not they consider themselves a "charter" is immaterial.  They are eligible, but not required to take standardized tests - though many choose to administer the SAT, ACT, or other exams.  Apparently, the OSDE wishes to have religious schools become eligible for taxpayer funding; I hadn't seen that before.



Our Christofascist governor and superintendent of education want our public schools to be indoctrination facilities for their brand of "Christianity".

Personally I think charter schools are a grift and a means of starving public schools of funding and thereby giving conservatives the old "see socialism doesn't work" saw. Public funds should fund public schools, period.

Pretty informative article. There is one complaint I have with it (and other national media coverage of the issue): the framing of the rendition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was "mistakenly removed to El Salvador."

It was not a mistake. He was fraudulently sent to a Salvadoran gulag.


Against the orders of a court. And now they refuse to 'facilitate' his return under further orders.

If you're either a man or a woman as defined by God and the Republican party, and they both can serve.... who are you excluding?

Apparently no reason needed for the SCOTUS other than the Republican POTUS wants to score points with the base.  

"The disintegration of defensive capability" is an evergreen and very, very serious to concerning paranoid 'patriots'. You can frame anyone for national security, etc.
Among the Republican president’s actions was an executive order that claims the sexual identity of transgender service members “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life” and is harmful to military readiness.

What's the point of financial disclosure when buying a property or taking a construction loan?  Why is fraud, falsifying business records, and issuing false statements not applicable since "nobody got hurt"?

You conveniently ignored the foundations of the lawsuit. 

These were the charges:
  • Persistent and repeated fraud under New York Executive Law 
  • Falsification of business records in violation of Penal Law 
  • Issuing a false financial statement in violation of Penal Law 
  • Insurance fraud by submitting false and misleading information in written applications for insurance and to obtain other insurance benefits, in violation of Penal Law
So what's the point of the financial disclosures in your construction loan theory?

In terms of the value of Mar A Lago, the answer is simple. Order the sale of it and give trump back anything above what he owes. #snark
