Eva Moskowitz, CEO of the Success Academy, likens teachers' unions and lawmakers to historical segregationists for obstructing access to quality charter schools. During a congressional hearing, she highlighted the alliance between unions and elected officials in efforts to prevent children from attending these schools. This contentious atmosphere echoes the racial segregation battles of the past, notably referencing the 1954 Supreme Court ruling against separate schools. Moskowitz expressed frustration with the Democratic-controlled New York government, suggesting a politically charged environment impedes educational access.
"There is a deep connection in New York between the union and local elected officials for everything from trying to shut the schools down to barricading, not allowing children into the school building."
"I am experiencing sort of the opposite, where union operatives have not allowed children to get into the building. It's a pretty venomous debate, which is really, really unfortunate."
