Deny all or save some?

Public charter schools may not save every Kentucky child trapped in a failing school. Harriet Tubman didn't rescue every slave, either. But Virginia Walden Ford, executive director of DC Opportunity Scholarships, points out that 300 slaves were freed because of Tubman.



While Ford spoke about scholarships in her city, the same point applies to charter schools in our commonwealth: Just because we can't save everyone doesn't mean we don't save some.
