Systemic Fraud Uncovered In Privatized Schools



The House of Representatives recently passed a measure that would hand $300 million dollars worth of taxpayer money over to charter schools. Not only do corporations who are looking to make a profit typically run these schools, but they are also ripe with fraud.

These "charter" schools need to be reviewed closely or stop funding them. Waste or actually fraud is so common and needs to be have those guilty behind bars. Come on Congress!
