Republicans don't like public schools but they elected a public school teacher. Why?

"HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The Pennsylvania Legislature will be led by massive Republican majorities -- including the biggest House GOP majority in more than 50 years -- when Democratic Gov.-elect Tom Wolf takes office on Jan. 20.
But for two weeks before he takes office, those majorities will be sworn in and intact under outgoing Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, a fact that has not been lost on Republican Party backers.
That means it is still legal and possible -- albeit technically challenging -- to enact far-reaching legislation favored by many Republicans that Corbett might sign, but that Wolf had said during the campaign that he would oppose.
People who have looked into it could not find a precedent for such a move in modern Pennsylvania political history, but that does not mean it cannot be done."

WILL REPUBLICANS ENACT CHARTER SCHOOL LEGISLATION BEFORE TOM WOLF TAKES OFFICE. CHARTER SCHOOL LEGISLATION THAT WILL TAKE CONTROL OF CHARTER SCHOOLS AWAY FROM LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXPAYERS?
In the YouTube Video posted by Gwenne Alexander, at 23:26 Harry Lewis says:
“A little bit about myself. Former educator and past principal of Coatesville Area Senior High School, retired in 2006. And everybody says, O public education. But I’m very, very adaptable to educating kids. I'm all about young people. I won't dare tell a parent how to educate their child. But I would support and find ways in which they can do that on their individual basis."
I think Harry Lewis is saying he will support any charter school law the Republicans put up.
I think Harry Lewis is a black educator cover fight back claims that charter schools are a corporate takeover of public schools.
