By John P. Felix, Somerset.
The recently filed Civil Rights Complaint against the expansion of existing, and creation of new charter schools in our community has elicited a healthy exchange of narratives on social media. Unfortunately some of these responses are devoid of logic, while others present a combative/declarative “war-like” tone. Nevertheless, we’ll endeavor to keep the conversation courteous and fact-based.
As eloquently penned by the Co-Founder of Franklin C.A.R.E.S, Michael Steinbrück, in one of his recent posts, the objective of Franklin C.A.R.E.S. is to intelligently debate the issue of charter schools’ expansion and evaluate their impact, both fiscally and educationally, on our district’s traditional schools. We are committed to engage the public in a respectful, non-judgmental series of discussions that are based on measurable data and free of false accusations and presumed intentions. Let’s continue our dialogue befitting of the civil discourse that reflects the tolerance of our township residents.
