Some call me "Flem"

"...charter schools' right of due process."

7:27am. Walk to Wawa. Get coffee and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
4:30pm, finally pick up the paper and read the two main Philadelphia education reports.
(((((DROPS PAPER AND JAW in disbelief)))))

An excerpt:

"Robert Fayfich, executive director of the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools, called the amendment {to the cigarette tax for Philly that gives Philly charter start ups the right to appeal to the state Charter Appeals Board if the SRC ignores/rejects their proposals} a 'clear statement by the House that the School District of Philadelphia and the School Reform Commission overstepped their authority in suspending the charter schools' right of due process.'"

Would this be the same well-funded, politically connected, media-beloved arm of the education reform debate that pushes for policies and laws that would deny teachers their right to due process by lobbying for the elimination of tenure and seniority? Do I have that about right?
