Oklahoma bizarrely shut down online charter schools alongside the brick-and-mortar locations, apparently to stop the enormous increase in demand for online education options in order to make everything more “fair” for the public schools. But it’s not very fair to the kids who are deprived of a good online education, they obviously suffer the most from this despicable action. They and their parents are seeing a forced reduction in education options so as to keep the failing public schools afloat. Charter schools in Oklahoma have since reopened, but are barred from admitting new students.
