Universal Free Public Education
The principle of Universal Free Public Education is fundamental to the proper functioning of our democracy, as the Founders of our Nation well understood. Provisions for charter schools have long been in place, and there is no problem with that in principle, but it becomes a problem when charter schools are used to undermine the right to Universal Free Public Education. Parochial, pay, and private schools do not operate on that principle and they should not be subsidized by public funds.
