With righteous indignation and occasional charisma, the new Democratic Party is thundering on with its message of leftist moralism. On taxes, healthcare, and foreign policy, politicians such as Sens. Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, plus Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and 2020 candidate Julian Castro, claim to be the servants of a better America.

Judging by how these ideologues are treating Los Angeles families, their morality is very thin. Because the powerful Los Angeles teachers union, loved by all major Democrats, has now persuaded its city’s supplicant school board to call for a moratorium on new charter schools across California. It’s an extraordinary rebuke of those whom Democrats most claim to serve: poor minority parents who simply want the best for their kids.
