Sen. Cory Booker said that as president, he would prioritize public schools despite his past record of supporting charter schools when he served as mayor of Newark, New Jersey.
Booker also said he would fight back against Republican schemes to privatize education, which he said have been pursued aggressively in Michigan. And he noted that as a Senate candidate, he was endorsed by the New Jersey Education Association, the largest teacher’s union in his state. “In Michigan, Republicans have written these charter school laws in a way that I would oppose dramatically because they’re designed in a way that has no accountability,” he said. He called the Michigan laws “an assault on public school education as we know it.”
