These commercials accusing Mayor de Blasio of closing a charter school are outrageous. The mayor protected the rights of very high-needs students at the Mickey Mantle School, who were in danger of losing even more classrooms. Many of these students are in wheelchairs, and allowing another co-location would force them into hallways, stairwells and unused cafeteria space.

I know how disruptive a co-location can be — I took an early retirement rather than watch my beloved classroom be turned over to a charter school.

The mayor approved more than 80 percent of the charter school arrangements from last year, so no one should accuse him of starting a “war on charter schools” — but you wouldn’t know that from the Success Academy commercials or the biased news reporting.

I wonder who’s paying for all of those commercials.
