Sen. Sanders calls for ban on for-profit charters. Would it fly?

I of course wholeheartedly support the concept. And if you click and read it all, he seems to have a lot of bases covered. (It's a little unclear, from what I've seen, if the proposal includes shutting down existing for-profits. I'm taking a bit of a leap of faith here and presuming that that's part of the intent of the entire package.)

Sen. Bernie Sanders will unveil a major plan to support public education and rein in privatization on Saturday, CNN reports. Sanders will call for a ban on for-profit charter schools and pledge that, as president, he would refuse to use federal funds to open new charter schools.

On the anniversary weekend of Brown v. Board of Education, Sanders will take up the NAACP’s call for a moratorium on charter school expansion, at least while the schools are audited. Sanders will also propose subjecting charter schools to the same oversight as public schools—something that charter backers have oh-so-mysteriously fought tooth and nail—and transparency measures like financial disclosure and student attrition rates. That oversight and transparency would be combined with requirements for representation of parents and teachers on charter school boards.

But:

- Even to my not-a-lawyer head it seems like there would be constitutional issues with an outright ban. Moreover, that could very possibly have been the case even before the Trump/McConnell savaging of our federal courts. Perhaps denial of federal funds to existing for-profits would have pretty much the same effect as a ban. But I wouldn't put it beyond the far-right majority on our current SCOTUS to knock that down, and even have the gall to cite Brown as a precedent requiring purported "equality of opportunity," here.

- Plenty of “non-profit” charters are being strip-mined for big bucks by greedheads. I don’t know that for-profit charters couldn’t just make a few cosmetic changes in how their cash flows are treated, label themselves non-profit, and go the same route. It’s the charter-industrial complex in general, not just the overt for-profits, that needs to be cut way, way, way down to size. Full funding of our public schools, along with much stiffer federal regulation of all charters, would be good starting points.
