  • R.I. League of Charter Schools Expresses Outrage Over Forced Family-Separation Policy

    Providence, RI – The R.I.
    League of Charter Schools, a statewide organization representing 18 charter
    schools across Rhode Island, expresses its outrage over the Trump
    Administration’s policy of “zero-tolerance” which has separated thousands of
    migrant children from their parents and families.



     



    “Our member charter
    schools serve over 6,700 students and their families across Rhode Island. A
    significant number of our families are immigrants and refugees that have come
    to the United States seeking a better life and to escape the violence and
    threats in their homeland. This policy of forced-separation of children from
    their parents is cruel, inhumane and abhorrent to the values we hold as
    Americans.” said Keith A. Oliveira, Executive Director of the R.I. League of
    Charter Schools.



     



    “We thank our
    congressional delegation for expressing the outrage of all Rhode Islanders and
    urge them to continue to put pressure on the Trump Administration to reverse
    this reprehensible policy. We also thank Governor Gina Raimondo for her
    decision not to send Rhode Island National Guard units to the southern border
    to support this policy. This policy does not reflect who we are as Americans
    and as Rhode Islanders. It is an affront to our moral sensibilities and
    values.” said Mr. Oliveira
