FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A proposed charter school in Fort Wayne has a group of parents and teachers strongly opposed. Critics insist the public has not had enough time to consider the plan and comment. As with any charter school debate, money is at the center of it. That’s because Fort Wayne Community Schools gets a base of $7,000 of funding per student. The new charter school wants to recruit 150 students when it opens. According to our partners in news at ABC21, if 150 students leave FWCS and enroll at the ‘Fort Wayne Preparatory Academy,’ FWCS would lose just over $1,000,000. Supporters of charter schools argue that students and parents benefit from an additional choice in education.
Proposed Charter School Raising Concerns Across FWCS Parents

Follow the MONEY! Of course these people are “CONCERNED.” They stand to lose money because of their incompetence. Across the country parents are trying to hold their school boards accountable but they are deemed domestic terrorists. The only way it seems to hold the public schools accountable for their schemes and lack of fulfilling their duty is to take their money by moving your kids either to home school or to charter or private schools. Charter schools have been very successful in educating kids that are just shuffled aside in public schools. The public schools are not even close to the schools I attended in the 50s to 60s. Kids are taught they are racists depending on their skin color. They are taught there are hundreds of genders. They Are taught they have no personal privacy in the locker room or restrooms. I have a young relative who is afraid to use the restroom because thugs in his class beat kids up and post videos of the crime on TicTok. Kids are taught in early grades about birth control long before they should be even interested in the subject. Public schools are out of control in the quest of the almighty dollar.
