@johnlegend I believe your heart is in the right place. You just backed the wrong side. Charter schools increase segregation. @VanJones68
@StevenSinger3 @VanJones68 I'm on the side of improving our public schools. Don't make provocative claims with out basis.
@johnlegend @VanJones68 Respectfully, you're on board for Teach for America. I wish you were part of the solution not making it worse.
