This is what supporters of charter schools and vouchers don't tell you: because those schools aren't required to admit physically or learning disabled students, or ESL students, their "improved test scores" and whatnot are completely juiced—and it defunds the schools where disabled kids DO go.

The whole thing was a scam ran by sociopaths. The fact a single public dollar goes to those monsters is a crime.
Privatization is a con.
There was still discrimination though even in the public school system, such as by denying kids with disabilities spots in after school.
This can happen in any type of choice system, even public schools.
