Some time ago, we wondered whether Brooklyn’s Park Slopers would emerge as a sign that community-driven charter schools (founded by people who had decided that their kids deserved non-crappy public schools) will be the next big thing in the land of lefties.
Elizabeth Green has more in today’s New York Sun. Meanwhile, the NY Times writes up the whole “annoying parent” thing on the Slope.
These publications want us to believe that well-off parents really want a quality education for their kids. Is it a stretch to think that less well-off parents could crave the same? Doesn’t that put the Democratic Party in a bit of a bind?
