The historic and iconic civil rights organization has approved a resolution calling for a moratorium on the expansion of Charter Schools in America.

This controversial resolution reaffirms a 2014 resolution that “the NAACP opposes the privatization of public schools and/or public subsidizing or funding of for-profit or charter schools.”

This leads us to the question and the ongoing debate revolving around school choice: Should parents be able to choose other options to enhance their children’s education?

Join us for a Town Hall, Wednesday October 5th at 7:00PM at Cramton Auditorium on the Howard University campus. Roland Martin along with a panel of respected educators will address the issue of educating our youth. It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss because you know I will #BringTheFunk.
