| I've done a massive amount of research on charter schools, and it's in his book, Charter Schools and Their Enemies. | |
| Lee says, a teacher in Columbus, Ohio says, charter schools are only marginally better than public. | |
| Well, I advocate, but I mean... | |
| Well, I don't think passing the math test at nearly seven times the rate of public schools is marginally better. | |
| It's amazing how much rhetoric there is out there without one speck of facts behind them. | |
| That's why the book is so important. | |
| Betsy, quickly in Cleveland. | |
| Hi. | |
| Dr. Sowell, one of my greatest wishes is being fulfilled right now. | |
| Speaking to you, sir. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. | |
| What am I? Chopped liver? | |
| No, Dennis, I love you too. | |
| Get to talk to Dr. Sowell, please. | |
| No, I'm with you. | |
| I'm with you. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| And I want to rush because I know there's no time on the clock. | |
| First, I want everyone to know that he's 100% correct with regard to the California health education, which they're calling it, and bullying curriculum. | |
| It includes lewd and lascivious information. | |
| And it's being shared, Dr. Sowell, beginning in kindergarten, not 11-year-olds. | |
| Kindergarten, which is age 5. So I did want to let you know that. | |
| I am a consulting psychologist to one charter school here in Cleveland. | |
| We have a plethora of charter schools. | |
| This one stands alone and has one founder. | |
| Sadly, they have chosen, she has chosen to teach black history to the exclusion of white history. | |
| And I'm sorry to say this, but the students who are great kids, it's a middle school and high school only, are being taught to hate White people in, what is the word, cooperation with what Black Lives Matter espouses. | |
| So I wanted to understand what I might do. | |
| Okay, Tom? | |
| Boy, unfortunately this is happening. | |
| I think just letting the public know the extent to which this is already happening. | |
| And there's a backlash, as I said, across the country against charter schools because there's money involved. | |
| One of the things that shocked me in doing the research is how many places there are vacant schools, schools that have been vacant for years, and they will block the charter schools from using them because that means the charter schools can take students from off the waiting list and teach them in these schools. | |
| In some places, they have actually demolished the schools to make sure the charter schools can't get them. | |
| Well, again, though, if they're teaching what the public schools are increasingly because of... | |
| Being forced to do so. | |
| In California, that battle has been lost. | |
| Yes, but it's a battle elsewhere. | |
| Tom, we have to speak more often. | |
| A belated happy birthday to you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| A big hello to your wife and just stay well. | |
| Thank you. | |
| You too. |
