These bills would not provide such protection. In the future the Massachusetts Department of Education should pursue a more frugal policy in dispensing charters to institutions of dubious intent. In any case, it now has an obligation to reveal the mistakes it has made in the past and expose the fraudulent institutions which it, in effect, has created...
