Change Is Coming for State Charter Schools

Whether the present bill in the SC State Legislature passes in its present form or not, charter schools have become so popular with the public that sooner or later the right changes will be made. See Changes for State Charter Schools? for details on the bill sponsored by Rep. Phil Owens of Easley.

Among those asked for opinions on the bill, Larry DiCenzo, principal of Orange Grove Charter, pointed out that the school is so popular that a lottery must be held for kindergarten slots. Then, Dot Scott of the NAACP made her usual noises about charter schools "leading to less racial diversity." Yeah, right.

Hey, Dot, make visits to the Charter School for Math and Science and then to Burke. Then answer which system leads to less racial diversity, that is, if you can see what's in front of you!
