The Invisible Hand

Is flipping the bird again? This one comes to us from California, which seems to have a knack for reminding us that competition within the education sector too often results in public school leaders taking their marbles and running home, rather than working hard to deliver a better product.

A bunch of Santa Cruz public charter school kids have been kicked out of sports leagues because some educrats in competing schools don't like that charter schools are publicly funded...

Now, in order for this stuff to work, this is where the PUBLIC needs to step in and inflict some serious punishment.
