When privatizers found out there was public resistance against vouchers for private and parochial schools, they decided to exploit Al Shanker's concept of "charters" and still managed to rip off taxpayers in the process.

There are many arguments against charter schools, as this post notes.

Another Josef Fritzl has been found in Austria:

Austrian police are investigating claims that a man locked up his two mentally ill daughters in a small room in their home and sexually abused them for 41 years.

Officers said the 80-year-old repeatedly raped the women between 1970 and May 2011 in St Peter am Hart, near the Bavarian border. The alleged victims are now aged 53 and 45. A police official did not name either the suspect or the alleged victims.

Police confirmed they were investigating after a report in the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten newspaper.

The newspaper said the women escaped when the father was unable to get off the floor after the older daughter pushed him over when he last tried to rape her.


Good God.
