Eva Moskowitz’s description of Bill de Blasio’s vicious attacks on New York City’s charter schools is a succinct summary of how liberals will do anything they can get away with to make sure people on the bottom of the economic ladder stay there (“Bill de Blasio’s War on Good Schools,” PostOpinion, Sept. 4).
Moskowitz’s piece shows exactly how blood-thirsty liberals abuse disadvantaged people for their own benefit. It’s a complete indictment of the entire liberal worldview and totally refutes these con-artists’ claim that they care deeply about “the poor.”
Anyone who actually cares what happens to people without a lot of economic power would never even think of doing the things Moskowitz has shown de Blasio is capable of.

If Moskowitz is sincere that her charter schools are about students first, rather than cash and profits, why does she take a salary approaching that of the president of the United States?
All for running a handful of schools? Her schools get public tax dollars.
It should be illegal for her to be paid more than $100,000.
But, she’s making almost three times that. Who believes her top concern is students?
Prove it, Eva. Reduce your salary to $90,000 a year and put the rest toward educating kids.

For years, advocates for public schools have sworn up and down that the secret to better education was smaller classroom sizes (“The ‘Evil’ of Wanting Better Schools,” Naomi Schaefer Riley, PostOpinion, Sept. 5).
With the proliferation of charter schools, and the use of private religious schools, this criteria has been met.
According to Allison Benedikt, who is pro-public schools, that doesn’t matter anymore; the more important thing is going to school with a diverse population.
In the old days, liberals sued to get minority kids into public schools. Now they sue to keep them there. Irony anyone?
