A new labor-backed study charges that California charter schools are opening schools where they aren’t needed, but parents — not special interests or governmental bodies — should be the final judges.

The report from In the Public Interest criticizes charters for opening in areas where there is existing classroom space in traditional public schools, criticizes them for using public funds for their facilities — as they are entitled to do under Proposition 39, passed by voters in 2000 — and alleges that they are misusing funds.

“Paying for more schools than are needed wastes taxpayer dollars,” the report states. “Furthermore, an oversupply of schools serves to undermine the viability of any individual school.”

The study claims that the growth of charter schools has led to an “overproduction of schools” by focusing on available desk space, but this exhibits a fundamental misunderstanding of the basic economic concepts of supply and demand. Demand is not determined by how many things you can produce; it is determined by how many things you produce that people are actually willing to consume.

And, increasingly, traditional public schools are becoming better at producing empty desk space than well-educated graduates, as more and more parents have come to the conclusion that these schools are not working, and thus have enrolled their children in charter schools to offer them better opportunities.

It is no wonder there has been such an explosion in the number of charter schools in California. There are now more than 1,250 charter schools in the state — four times the number that existed when Prop. 39 was passed just a little more than 16 years ago — and there are over 600,000 students enrolled in those charter schools, according to the California Charter Schools Association. Both totals are the largest of any state in the nation.

“The recent report by In the Public Interest, an organization closely tied to the California Teachers Association and labor groups, is the latest attempt by CTA to not only stop charters from growing, but to shut down even the most effective schools,” Richard Garcia, CCSA director of elections communications, said in a statement.

And therein lies the real conflict. Unionized, traditional public schools are upset that, now that they are forced to compete, they are oftentimes losing out to charter schools — most, but not all, of which are not unionized. They simply cannot compete with the charters when their union rules maintain ineffective teachers, tie the hands of management, stifle innovation and prevent them from offering the kinds of programs and instruction that students and their parents want.

To truly examine the “market” for K-12 education, one need only examine the tacit demand as revealed by parent and student behavior. The mere facts that so many are willing to go outside the traditional public school system, oftentimes at significantly greater inconvenience, and that so many charter school investors, managers and educators are willing to risk so much time and money to create and operate new schools, are evidence that there is not an oversupply of education, but rather an undersupply of quality education.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the saying goes, and parents and students are voting with their feet. Traditional public schools, and their teachers union champions, can either continue their heavy-handed resistance and try to use their government influence to simply shut down their competition, to the detriment of children’s education, particularly for those with the fewest opportunities, or they can adjust and try to outcompete their rivals. It is, regrettably, obvious which course they have decided to take so far.

Angus King Jr., senator from the great state of Maine, is a sensible fellow who walks around the nation’s capital with a perpetually perplexed look. One assumes he’s deciding which of America’s two major political parties is vexing him more on any given day. Usually, it’s Republicans, though not always.

King ran for Senate in 2012 as an independent. Once in office, he decided to “caucus” with the Democrats. In Capitol Hill parlance, this means he hob-nobs with Democrats, receives committee assignments from them, and votes for a Senate Democratic leader. This made sense at first: Democrats were in the majority. It became less pragmatic when Democrats lost Senate control to the Republicans in 2014. But that year, he and moderate West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin politely rebuffed GOP entreaties to join them.

King’s stated rationale was instructive. He noted that Sen. Susan Collins, his colleague in Maine’s delegation, is a Republican. “I think it is in Maine’s interest to have senators in each camp,” he said. “The reality of the Senate,” he added, “is that nothing can or will happen without bipartisan support.”

But as the Republican Party has steadily headed further and further to the right while Democrats lurch leftward, bipartisan cooperation has become exceedingly rare. The 115th Congress is the most polarized in American history. National Journal magazine, which analyzes congressional voting records, first discerned in 2009 that no Senate Democrat was more conservative than any Senate Republican — and vice versa. It’s been the same every year since.

This is a radical departure from the historic norm. In 1982, when National Journal started doing these comparisons, 58 senators (and 344 House members) had voting records that put them somewhere in the middle of conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats. The upshot is that 40 percent of Americans now refuse to identify with either major political party. Yet, unless you count Bernie Sanders — and one shouldn’t — Angus King is the only independent in Congress. (Sanders calls himself a “Democratic Socialist,” but he ran for president as a Democrat only last year.)

If a small group of good-government advocates get their way, however, Sen. King will soon have company. Not a lot of company — a few fellow independents at the most — but that might be enough to run the country. In this scenario, neither Mitch McConnell nor Chuck Schumer will hold the gavel. The Senate leader would almost certainly be an independent or an independent-minded senator who relishes bipartisan cooperation.

If this sounds too good to be true, it probably is, but stay with me a moment.

The organization with this master plan is called the Centrist Project. Its subversive-sounding blueprint is the “Fulcrum Strategy.” Although evocative of a Robert Ludlum thriller, the stratagem is not all that complicated. The Centrist Project wants to field a slate of independents in the 2018 Senate midterm elections in states that might be receptive to its pitch. If even two or three of them win, this small cabal of independents would effectively control the U.S. Senate.

At that point, Democrats Joe Manchin and perhaps North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp would be presented with a more interesting alternative than the one offered Manchin in 2014, which was to leave a political party dominated by arch-liberals for one under the thumb of arch-conservatives. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, perhaps nonconformist Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina or Nebraska’s Ben Sasse would throw their lot in with the independents. Come to think of it, as I write these words, I’m reminded that John McCain’s first choice as a running mate wasn’t Sarah Palin. It was pro-choice, Democrat-turned-independent Joe Lieberman. So maybe McCain, too?

OK, so that would be wild, exciting and almost certainly good for the country. But is it even possible? Overcoming the entrenched duopoly is daunting, and that’s putting it mildly. In 2014, Kansas independent Greg Orman took the plunge — and found out how deep these waters can be. Articulate, well-funded, and passionate, Orman had much going for him, even in deep-red Kansas. Running against Pat Roberts, a 78-year-old incumbent of no particular distinction, Orman managed to chase the Democratic Party nominee out of the race and run neck-and-neck with Roberts for a while. But the GOP pulled out all the stops to defeat Orman and when the votes were counted that November, Roberts won by 10 points.

Nick Troiano, the Centrist Project’s executive director, also ran for Congress that year — with much less success. A Millennial Generation idealist who believes both parties are selling out the nation’s future with irresponsible fiscal policies, Troiano was only 24 when he launched a “citizen-funded independent campaign” in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. Although he finished a distant third, the experience did not diminish his commitment. Quite the opposite. As young as he is, Troiano knows he and some of his cohorts can do better than their elders. Without irony, he compares Washington’s partisan squabbles that result in government shutdowns and legislative gridlock to two school kids fighting on the playground. “You can’t just tell them to stop and hope for the best,” he said. “They need adult intervention.”

The plan, as outlined by Centrist Project senior strategist Joel Searby, is to find viable independents to run in carefully selected states. The ones Searby mentioned were GOP strongholds Nebraska, Wyoming and Utah, along with New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The last three lean Democratic, but have a history of voting for independents or centrist Republicans. Two other possibilities Troiano and Searby mentioned were Texas and Washington state.

Can it be done? Troiano and Searby seem pleased that they’ve raised $600,000 in seed money to recruit candidates. Yet this is a paltry sum in American politics these days. Donald Trump could raise more in a single tweet, and it’s about what Bill Clinton charges to give a speech. But the man who gives them hope is as little known in Washington, D.C., as Trump and Clinton are notorious.

His name is Jason Grenn, and he’s a citizen politician from Alaska whose experience suggests that politics still is the art of the possible. A lifelong Republican, the 35-year-old Anchorage resident became discouraged by his party’s increasingly rightward tilt, and positively outraged when the state’s GOP-controlled legislature adjourned last year without seriously addressing the state’s historic fiscal crisis. He tried unsuccessfully to recruit someone to run in the Republican primary against his own state representative. No one would do it, so at 4 p.m. on June 1, 2016 — an hour before the filing deadline — he wrote his own name on a form.

Once in, Grenn was in it to win. He knocked on 5,000 doors in his district, mailed another 1,500 postcards and saw the local Democratic candidate drop out. Conservative Alaskans who’d rather hug a grizzly bear than vote for a Democrat found that they could vote for an independent. Long story short, Grenn won his election by 186 votes, partnered with another independent in the legislature and was appointed to the finance committee, which altered the equation in Juneau.

“If it happened there,” Nick Troiano says while we drive around the streets of Washington, “it can happen here.”

CARSON — The printout says it was the 22nd pro fight for Oscar Valdez.

Actually it was his first.

The previous 21 had been scrimmages, pre-ordained victories, tightrope walks with several nets below.

A fight, by its very nature, is something bilateral and demanding and maybe a little unprecedented. When Valdez punched the clock Saturday night, it punched back.

Miguel Marriaga was the guy who barely blinked when Valdez unloaded, kept moving forward through the ill winds.

He was the one who made Valdez fight an 11th round for the first time in his career, and then a 12th round, too.

He and Valdez put on a show that was worthy of the StubHub Center tennis stadium that housed it, one that honored the boxers before them who had all their defenses stripped away and somehow found a way home. Valdez got there, winning a unanimous decision in his first defense of his WBO featherweight title. At the end he and Marriaga hugged, and a crowd of 5,179 stood in salute.

“You can’t fight in this place without expecting a knockdown,” said Jessie Magdaleno, the super-bantamweight champ who dismissed Adeilson Dos Santos in the second round. “You can’t come here without getting some bumps and bruises.”

It was a close, uncertain fight for everyone except the judges, who gave Valdez the nod by 11, nine and five points. That seemed strange and lopsided even to Manny Robles, Valdez’s trainer.

Marriaga got through Valdez’s early rush and seemed ready to take control after the halfway point. He was moving Valdez around the ring, slowing down his pace, and landing enough fire of his own. He has only lost once, and that was to Nicolas Walters on a night when Walters was over the featherweight limit at the weigh-in.

“I was scolding Oscar,” Robles said. “We lost a round, maybe the fifth or the sixth, and I said, kid, you lost that one and now we’re heading into the second half of the fight. I didn’t know what to expect. What was he going to be like after the 10th round? These are the championship rounds.”

Valdez seemed to answer that question with a left jab and then a big left hook, thrown off-balance, that put Marriaga down. But Valdez was overeager, and nearly exhausted himself trying to finish it, and Marriaga got his bearings and had Valdez backing up and gasping when that bell rang. Marriaga also held his own in the 11th and 12th.

When it was over, Robles went to the opposite corner and told Marriaga, “You’ve got everything it takes to be a world champion. You’re a great fighter.”

But then Marriaga was saying approximately the same thing to Valdez.

“The only other time I went 12 rounds was in sparring,” Valdez said, the price of the fight now visible in purple, beneath his eyes.

“I learned I’ve got to pace myself more. Maybe go back to the gym and work on bobbing and weaving a little more. You never stop learning. I didn’t listen to my trainer a couple of times. I’m just thankful I won the fight.”

Before Saturday, Valdez’s longest fight was a 10-round decision over Ruben Tamayo, also at StubHub two years ago. The next five fights totaled 21 rounds. Valdez beat quality fighters, like Evgeny Gradovich and Matias Rueda, but Marriaga was really his introduction to top-tier boxing, to nights of definition.

Even then, Marriaga never could make Valdez pay for missing home run right hands, and he didn’t have the one-punch power to make Valdez shiver. But you can be assured Valdez’s next fight won’t be this arduous, and it won’t be soon either.

Most likely, Valdez will fight a lightly qualified opponent in a homecoming bout in Tucson, where he went to high school. Then the plan is to fight someone like Scott Quigg, the Brit who lost a split decision to Carl Frampton and fights on the Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko card in a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Quigg is now trained by Freddie Roach and would challenge Valdez. But let’s get real.

With Valdez training at The Rock Gym in Carson, the L.A. area has three of the world’s top fighters in boxing’s deepest division.

Valdez, 26, should be fighting either Abner Mares or Leo Santa Cruz, after they fight each other for the second time, and it should happen at either Staples Center or The Forum. The fact that it won’t happen, at least not initially, is another sad victory for alphabet politics.

But if such stalemates give Valdez time to get better, maybe that’s good.

“I didn’t like how he reacted after he got the knockdown,” Robles said. “He started trying to bang with the guy. I told him, take your time, set things up, go back to boxing. He didn’t box enough in the last two rounds either. I said, why are you letting yourself get hit? Don’t be one-dimensional and try to chop his head off.”

Mistakes are fine when you survive them. They become lessons.

“It’s nice to know what you have,” Robles said. “After this fight, I know I got a guy with a great chin who can really crack. When you have those two things, you know you have the total package.

“And I thought he won by four or five rounds. The jab won him the fight, in the end. He was the better, more well-rounded fighter. That was the whole game plan. Sometimes you need to go into the deep waters.”

Robles smiled.

“If boxing was for everyone, the gym would be full of fighters,” he said. “This ain’t baseball, baby.”

It wasn’t, even though it felt like Opening Night.

SANTA ANA >> Katella powered past Century using something it hadn’t used in the teams’ previous meetings this season – a high-octane offense.

Michael Hill and Angel Lopez provided the big swings as the Knights cruised to a 15-1 victory Friday that gave them a sweep in their Orange League series with the Centurions.

Katella (14-6, 8-1) strengthened its hold on first in the league standings by pounding out 10 hits, including a three-run shot home run by Lopez and a grand slam by Hill.

The Knights grabbed a quick lead, 3-0, thanks in part to four errors by Century (13-7, 5-4) in the opening frame.

Katella increased its lead to 6-1 in the third, as Skyler Johnson and Jacob Jimenez added an RBI double and RBI single, respectively.

But the majority of the damage was still to come.

Lopez went deep in the next inning, and his three-run blast gave the Knights a 9-1 advantage, 9-1.

Hill then added slugged his grand slam in the fifth. The drive clear the fence in left and gave Katella a 13-1 lead.

Century finished the game with six errors.

The Centurions scored their run in the bottom half of the first frame but failed to capitalize on other early chances for runs.

After John Tepox drove in Eduardo Ojeda to make it 3-1, Rodrigo Torres flied out to left with two runners on first and second to end the inning.

Katella starter David Navarette went five innings, struck out two and allowed one run.

The Knights will try push their winning streak to six games Tuesday when they take on Santa Ana Valle.

The Washington Post.

When a German shepherd rescue organization posted Elmo’s photo online last fall, it made no effort to mask the dog’s problems. He wore a cone around his neck to prevent him from licking the large open sore on his hip. His fungus-ridden feet were swollen. His graying, 11-year-old face held a pathetic, ears-to-the-ground gaze.

Steve Frost, a retired fire captain in Northern California, said he saw the photo and thought Elmo “looked like hell.” He immediately decided he wanted the dog.

Four months later, Frost sits by his fireplace every morning and evening and gives Elmo four pills for his various ailments, “like an old man.” On Wednesday morning, he took Elmo in for prostate surgery. Frost, who had not owned a dog in several years, is now ushering one through its final years of life, which he says he figures will be “a lot better than living in a kennel.”

Frost, 59, met Elmo through the Thulani Program, one of a growing number of animal organizations focusing on adopting out older dogs, or “senior dogs” that are typically 7 years or older. Their age makes them some of the hardest-to-place animals in a society that still adores romping puppies, although that is changing as books on elderly dogs and social media campaigns convince pet-seekers that the mature pooches often come with benefits, such as being house-trained, more sedate and less demanding of people with busy lifestyles.

But some of those adopters go further, selecting pets from programs for dogs in need of hospice care, or what amounts to assisted living for very ill or very old dogs. These programs usually commit to covering the cost of a dog’s medical and dental care, which might otherwise be a major obstacle to finding them homes, said Lisa Lunghofer, executive director of the Maryland-based Grey Muzzle Organization. The donor-funded group gave $225,000 in grants last year to 38 senior dog programs nationwide, several of which now promote hospice adoptions.

Frost, who lives in Redding and is a part-time professional pilot, said he knew he wasn’t up to the task of raising a puppy. He also knew he wanted a German Shepherd. An Internet search led him to Thulani, and that led him to Elmo, one of the organization’s hospice dogs.

Frost knows little about Elmo’s past, other than that he was turned over to an animal shelter in Los Angeles and had clearly been neglected. His ears had mites, his innards had worms, his prostate had a tumor and he was puppy-like in one key way: At age 11, he wasn’t house-trained. Now Elmo has two beds in Frost’s home and a permanent place in the back seat of his four-door Ford F-150, and the two take what Frost called “a man shower” together every few days.

“This guy has just burrowed his way into my heart,” Frost said.

Lunghofer stresses that most senior dogs do not require the kind of care Elmo does. The majority “just need a good home,” she said, and many “regain their vitality and reward their families with years of unconditional love and devotion.”

And more of them are finding those homes, she said. Grey Muzzle – which says it envisions “a world where no old dog dies alone and afraid” – recently surveyed its grantees, the majority of which said the situation for older dogs has improved in the past two years and that young people are more open to such adoptions. Nearly all said the main reason people adopt aging dogs is “altruism,” although mellowness and potty skills were also cited.

“This is a great way to ease into dog ownership,” said Erick Smith of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, a Grey Muzzle grantee. “It’s not this epic commitment that you’re staring down.”

David Writz, 34, said he’s hoping his newly adopted 10-year-old black Lab mix, Dante – who is not a hospice case – will stick around for five years or so. Like Frost, Writz found his dog online after deciding he didn’t have time for a puppy. When the two met in person at Bob’s House for Dogs in Eleva, Wisconsin, Writz was smitten, despite the fact that Dante was about 20 pounds overweight. Then the shelter called and told Writz that the dog would be having emergency surgery to remove an eye with glaucoma. Did Writz still want him?

“I was like, ‘Obviously,’ ” said Writz, who works in a payroll office. “I figured at the very least I’d just get him an eye patch.”

Knowing that Dante won’t be around for long “is the depressing aspect of it,” said Writz, who regularly takes Dante to a local brewery, where the dog happily begs for pretzels. “But I figure he’ll be happy the rest of his remaining years.”

Russell Ulrey, a Muttville volunteer who helped start the shelter’s hospice program, said he was initially worried that he wouldn’t find takers. He was wrong. Last year, Muttville adopted out 85 hospice dogs, and Ulrey said demand is higher than supply.

Caring for a terminally ill dog is “a life-changing experience,” said Ulrey, 41, but one he tells potential adopters to approach with flexibility. Ulrey, who has adopted several hospice dogs, said one lived 14 months until, one day, he charged up a hill to a favorite park and collapsed. A veterinarian euthanized him there. An Airedale mix named Ralph, in contrast, had multiple organ failure, rotten teeth and survived just a week.

“A dog like Ralph, we didn’t take him out to the park. He didn’t want to go,” he said. “We made him cozy and made him feel really loved, maybe for the first time in his life.”

These days, Ulrey and his partner, Marie Macaspac, are the parents of Chachito, a 20-pound mutt who qualified as a hospice dog because he is 16 years old, blind and deaf – exactly the kind of pet few adopters would be willing to take on. Chachito’s regime involves homemade meals of brown rice pasta and chicken, supplements for his joints, arthritis medication and lots of hanging out at the couple’s Fairfax, California, home.

“He has his route,” Ulrey said. “He bonks into one wall and then knows he’s going to turn right.”

Farther north, in Redding, Elmo is recovering from his prostate surgery, which added hundreds of dollars to the $1,000 or more Frost has paid – with Thulani funds – to get the dog in shape. Soon, Frost said, he’ll take Elmo for a ride in an airplane.

“The best you can do is make him have a great life, because his life up until this point has been hell,” Frost said. As for the end? Frost said he doesn’t focus on that. “If it didn’t hurt, you’ve got to question the love that’s involved.”
