YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThey Broke the Law to Stop a Black-Founded Charter School. Black Success Was the Threat.
Connecticut officials approved the top-ranked charter school in the state — then blocked it anyway. What followed wasn’t confusion or bureaucracy. It was a deliberate decision to stop Black success.
Capital Prep earned approval, community support, and top academic rankings, yet state lawmakers intervened to deny funding. The lawsuit alleges the law was broken to prevent a Black-founded charter school from opening. Despite a 100 percent college acceptance rate, political obstruction overruled clear standards.
