Description

Roland Martin goes in on the political exploitation of Black families in the charter school debate — and he’s not holding back. While Republicans push so-called “school choice” bills, Roland breaks down how the real play is controlling contracts, curriculum, and cash — without letting Black parents have any real power. Alongside leaders from the National Charter Collaborative, Roland exposes how Black-led schools are starved of resources, while white-led authorizers make all the decisions. The result? Our kids get sold a dream, while others profit. #BlackParents #SchoolChoiceScam #CharterSchoolCrisis #RolandMartinUnfiltered #FireReels #BlackEducation #EducationJustice Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjXB7nX8bL2U2sje8d212Yw/join Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork 👉🏾 Use Cash App by visiting Stripe https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3ccgYyfSQ8y45kl 👉🏾 PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ [email protected] Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

My 6 sisters & I (HBCU graduates) own a Private School. We serve students K-12th grade. We are grateful to control our own curriculum to serve primarily black students. We have made a huge difference in a community that has been impacted by crime, lack of quality jobs & major housing struggles. My sister shared her dreams about the school & the youth we serve on the Jennifer Hudson show🙌🏽.

Who’s really benefiting from school choice? Drop a 🔥 if you’re done being sold dreams while they cash in on our kids.

Black parents have to be empowered to get involved with their public schools. Parents have sooooooo much power They simply need to show up to meetings or meet with the principal. That's what makes other schools successful. Parentsl involvement.

Charter schools aren’t a better choice and yes they drain resources from the surrounding community schools.

Is there a difference between non-profit Charter Schools VS for-profit Charter Schools? I live in NY and I think Success Academy is a non-profit CS and National Heritage Academy (Riverton charter school) is for-profit. For-profit gets state funding but non-profit relies on donation?? This is a question. You all need to look into the National Heritage Academy HQ in Michigan. I think they own the school buildings and charge states like rent but they did not buy building. It is a mess.

Start building our own stuff. Only this time, make sure we can defend it. If we lose something they lose. too.
