Papantonio: Charter School Fraud Gone Wild

Last edited Tue Sep 9, 2014, 01:42 PM - Edit history (1)

Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and Ruth Conniff, editor of The Progressive Magazine, discuss what’s happening.

Excellent interview and hope lots of these rip-off charters get busted along with tons of bad publicity.
