Sanders flips back after flop on charter schools

Published March 3, 2016 7:54pm ET



Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders appears to have changed his mind on charter schools again. After opposing them and drawing ire from Democrats for Education Reform, Sanders supported public charter schools in an interview Monday, The 74 reports.

“If they are for private institutions, I do not support it, because they are undermining public education in general,” Sanders said in an interview on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. “But if it’s in the context of public education, I do support it.”
