State lawmakers hurt charter schools, online learning with funding deal
The 2020-21 state budget signed back in June by Gov. Newsom glaringly failed to fund regular public schools and public charter schools with growing enrollments.

Obama Admits… Biden & Bernie’s Socialist-Democrat Goals Are the Same
