No, that’s exactly what a straw man is. You’re arguing against a false opponent that you e created, not my actual argument.

You’re all over this thread arguing for charters charging the public rent on buildings bought with public funds intended to educate children. This is so obviously a money grab by organizations less and less accountable to those parents you claim to represent. Stop it.

I’m done here.

Non profit inherently means there are no shareholders and therefore no “ownership,” meaning any additional endowment left over is not split amongst the “ownership” in the form of profit as you suggested earlier.

The salaries its board makes are considered “administrative costs” just like the administrative costs needed to cover the salaries of public school boards, and as a result of their non-profit status are public and auditable.

Yes, that’s literally the point of credit scores.

Prejudice takes a lot of forms. Most of them are both legal and societally accepted. Whether and how much it should be is debatable, but what’s not debatable is that “voucher tenants are going to destroy the place and refuse to leave” is a prejudicial statement (and if acted upon is illegal housing discrimination).

That's not what a straw man is. You just aren't willing to accept the decisions Parents of Color make for what they believe is the best interest of their children's education.

Black and Hispanic parents want classes where their children are place with students with the same academic level. Black and Hispanic parents want disruptive and dangerous students kicked out of their children's class. Black and Hispanic parents want the school to be able to fire underperforming teachers.

You want them to sacrifice their children to your ideal of a public school regardless if those ideals help Black and Hispanic Children.

Before Migrants it was homeless, and before homeless it was covid quartines, and before covid quartines it was covid relief workers who were being paid big $$$. It's pretty clear this is welfare for hotel under the guise of humanitarian aid. Before covid AirBnB was eating their lunch and then it was covid. I just hope this welfare was thought out and the most cost effective means of housing these people.
