This is an astonishing development.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City, a multibillionaire, is giving $1 million to support three candidates in the Los Angeles school board election.
The candidates he is backing are in favor of privately managed charter schools and are generally anti-union.

This bold effort to buy the school board is an affront to democracy.
Are the public schools of Los Angeles for sale to the highest bidder?
