ACORN’s Blind Support for Unions and Their Attacks on Education

ACORN’s Blind Support for Unions and Their Attacks on Education

ACORN has skirted the law when it comes to voter registration.  They were active in an Ohio voter drive at a time when the registration period overlapped early voting, opening the state up for fraud.  They have taken an active stance against a Harlem school that may have been just a little too successful for their tastes.  ACORN is an organization that, unlike its stated mission, seems to be dedicated to keeping our poorest communities poor, and our biggest unions wealthy. 

Set aside the voter fraud allegations and the weird child prostitution scandals from last year and there is still an ACORN position that should disqualify them from funding by any rational elected official.  The ACORN and Harlem Success Academy flack was not widely reported, but it affected children on their way to their first day of school.  ACORN is apparently taking a position against a successful school.  The motivation is an old argument that the success of a charter school will in some way hurt public schools rather than encouraging the public schools to raise their standards.  In reality, ACORN may be fighting against these children in order to keep the status quo in substandard schools and give a hand to the unions. Whatever their motive, taxpayer funds should not supprot these efforts.  Below are some videos that show the record of the Harlem Success Academy and the ACORN protests.
