To do this, they cut budgets across the board, closing hundreds of public schools (even before the hurricane) and paving the way for for-profit charter schools. Naturally, these moves have been opposed by teachers unions and parents.

Speaking of predatory investors, they make up the largest group of donors to @repjoecrowley . Both in New York and Puerto Rico, this is an industry that preys on working people to siphon off as much of their gains as possible.
