One of these days, not even the mainstream media will be able to save Elizabeth Warren from herself. It seems that day could be coming sooner rather than later.
In an article for New York Magazine’s Intelligencer, Jonathan Chait details one of Warren’s many problematic positions when it comes to our educational system:
Warren opposed reform to improve schools for low-income parents, tells parents to fix the schools themselves https://t.co/kulMKfekk8

Uh-oh …
RIP his mentions. https://t.co/sdlgJFqll6

Indeed, some people are less than pleased with Chait’s piece:
How are you allowed to write about this stuff?

Jonathan Chait is both anti-union (he fought it in his own workplace using right-wing reasoning) and *married to a national charter school executive/consultant*.
I don't know how @NYMag allows him to beat this horse without disclosing.

Chait, I like your take on a lot of topics, but your charter school pieces are the worst. At least admit a lot of charter school systems do harm to public schools without any benefit to the other public schools. We did what Warren suggested at our local school & it was great.

Written by someone with charter school agenda? Do better @NYMag

What garbage. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Dude, this is a gross smear…

Shame on you. This is disingenuous at best. Do better.

Disingenous? Chait quoted Warren verbatim:
Amazing. pic.twitter.com/kJ2xQ2jIFs

"Look, I know it's all you can do to raise your children and make ends meet but I'm afraid the teacher's union…I mean the schools need your tax dollars and your free labor."

There’s nothing wrong with suggesting that parents get more involved in improving their children’s schools on its face. But we don’t recall Elizabeth Warren trying to fix her local public schools. She just avoided any problems by sending her son to private school. And there she is, basically telling low-income parents to just shut up and deal with it.
