Union Accuses Black School Choice Group of Klan Sympathies

It's possible the union officials are overlooking some important details

A major state-level teachers union accused a group promoting school choice for African-American families of supporting the notorious white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan in a series of statements on Thursday.

The Louisiana Federation of Teachers accused the Louisiana Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO) of advancing a "pro-KKK agenda," in the words of one tweet sent from the union's official Twitter account. Another claimed that the group "endorses teaching that the KKK is good."
