I had to read that damned amendment very very carefully to get the gist of what it was doing.

Explain to your Democratic friends and family that this will further erode our public education system by diverting taxpayer dollars into private corporations.

And simplify things for your republican friends - just tell them that this will cause taxes to go up.

This is a horrible amendment, definitely intended to weaken our public schools while enriching charter school corporations and can't be allowed to pass.
