The NAACP sided against black children and their parents in the area of two of the worst failing schools in New York City. The parents wanted the schools closed down and charter schools opened up in their place. The schools have failed for many years despite boatloads of money and other efforts to make them work. But the NAACP and the teachers union blocked it. Goes to show you that education is becoming about a jobs program first and educating the children second. Shame on the NAACP for selling out the black kids and families. Guess where their paying members are? Wouldn't be the teachers union would it?
