Good news from the front lines of school reform: Three local chapters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people in California are bucking teachers unions and their own national organization to oppose a moratorium on charter schools. The LA School Report saysNAACP chapters in San Diego, San Bernardino and Riverside have filed resolutions opposing a moratorium that the national NAACP has pushed under pressure from teachers unions that are a source of its funding.
