    Ultimately it's systemic and none of it exists in isolation. I don't think you can meaningfully extricate the good of it being a pro-lgbt from the bad of it being part of the privatization of the educational system. Trying to take these as things that can be isolated and sorted into good or bad feels pretty undialectical.

    Better than other charter schools used for reactionary religious fundamentalism yes, but still attached to the same evil whole, that's about the most credit I'll give it.

      A lot of Schools for the Deaf and Schools for the Blind are technically charter schools, but really predate charter schools as a concept. Those schools are generally good because mainstreaming Deaf and/or blind kids often ends up with them not getting their needs met.

      When it comes to these schools, I'll die on the hill that they're far more good than bad.

      Sorry, shouldn't have used the language good, should have used the language of "better than"

      But yeah I get that

      I just wish I went to a school that wasn't a bigoted atmosphere
