this is why there were protesters in the streets of west philadelphia today when mitt romney showed up to talk education. philadelphia mayor, mike nutter, held mitt romney to his record on education. romney has always opposed investing in our children s education. again, i don t understand why he s here today. we know exactly why mitt romney was there. he wasn t making an appeal to students of parents of inner city. romney is letting republicans know he s committed to privatizing education in america and turning a profit on grade school students. it s all about the money. in his new education proposal, romney directs more federal funding for charter schools and digital education and more state control over public education costs. we must provide families with abundant school choice among a traditional, public schools, charter and online alternatives. romney doesn t care if the class sizes are overcrowded.
