Abstract: As 21st century school systems continue to emerge, low-income parents will continue to regard public charter schools as the means through which their children have equal access to quality education. This report is a response to the National Education Association's (NEA's) policy statement on charter schools. In the statement, the NEA calls for a moratorium on the creation and expansion of public charter schools. Herein, the authors state that NEA leaders fear that the growth of charter schools threatens the health--and wealth--of their union. The authors conclude that as 21st century school systems continue to emerge, low-income parents will continue to regard public charter schools as the means through which their children have equal access to quality education. It's time for the NEA and other teachers' unions to reconsider whether standing in the charter schoolhouse door and shouting "no" is the best way to serve America's children.
