In Massachusetts, where residents will soon vote in a referendum on whether to allow the creation of more charter schools, pro-charter groups are running tv ads including the one shown above. According to the Boston Globe, the groups are spending $2.3 million to run the ads in August.
Opponents of charter schools are also running ads. You can view one here.
