Congressional Candidates on Charter Schools
Here's video from the Our Revolution candidate forum on Saturday. This particular part is an interesting exchange between Dori Fenenbock and Veronica Escobar over charter schools. Fenenbock comes out against charter schools - which is kind of news to everyone because she's always sounded very pro-charter, and she went on the attack against Escobar about the CREEED guys being behind Escobar.
Escobar replies with a line about how Fenenbock asked for CREEED guys support and they told her no.
But a couple of interesting things about that exchange. A sources tells me Fenenbock indicated that she supported in-district charters during a meeting with Richard Castro of CREEED and flat out asked Castro to go back on his support of Escobar in favor of her.
Apparently Castro told her no.
What is more interesting is this screenshot (I always have screenshots, right?)
This is a tweet from February last year.
What are Kipp schools? Well I'm glad you asked. Here's a screen shot of what they are in their own words:
In other words, they are a charter school entity. Does that sound like someone that is as against charters as Fenenbock sounds in the video?
And that is why Fenenbock has a problem with authenticy and why people have a problem with her pandering.
