Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., appeared to flip-flop on the issue of school choice when he voted with his party on Wednesday to uphold restrictions on charter schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a 49-49 vote along party lines, the Senate voted down a resolution that would have invoked the Congressional Review Act in a bid to overturn the Department of Education\u2019s new rules affecting funding for the Charter School Program.<\/a><\/p>\n

Reacting to the vote, American Federation For Children Senior Fellow Corey DeAngelis told Fox News Digital that “parents need to wake up and hold these politicians accountable.”<\/p>\n

“Shame on Cory Booker who had previously been a supporter of school choice. He even spoke at my organization’s school choice summit a decade ago,” DeAngelis said.<\/p>\n

Booker spoke at a school choice event in 2012, claiming to be a proponent of parents having a choice of where there kids get an education.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I cannot ever stand up and stand against a parent having options<\/a> because I benefited from my parents having options,” he said speaking at an American Federation For Children 2012 conference. “All the people representing my city.. [Obama] does not send his kids to DC Public Schools… and now you want to deny that to my community.”<\/p>\n

Before the vote, the resolution’s sponsor, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., urged his fellow lawmakers to vote for the bill because it was “a vote for common sense.”<\/p>\n

“Sixty-eight percent of Democrats, 67% of independents, 68% of African Americans, [and] 72% of Hispanics agree with some form of school choice,” Scott said. “This is simply a public charter school issue… stopping the Biden administration from destroying one of the most important vehicles for human prosperity for the kids of our country.”<\/p>\n

Reacting to the vote, Scott sent a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Paying lip service to parents on school choice and then turning around and voting with union bosses against common sense legislation to support high-performing public charter schools is the height of hypocrisy,” the statement read. “Yet, that\u2019s exactly what many of my Democrat colleagues did yesterday. I am disappointed that they\u2019re putting politics over the people who need more education options\u2014kids growing up in poverty just like I did.”<\/p>\n

Other Senate Democrats besides Booker, appeared to pull their support of the resolution. Earlier this year, Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Michael Bennett, D-Col., blasted the charter school restrictions in a bipartisan letter<\/a> directed at Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. Booker also signed onto this letter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott introduced the Congressional Review Act<\/a> resolution opposing the Department of Education\u2019s new rules about how charter schools qualify for federal grants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of the federal funding for charter schools comes from the bipartisan federal Charter Schools Program which started 28 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite a 7% uptick in charter school enrollment throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, the rules added hurdles for receiving federal funding through the federal program. Among the new requirements imposed by the Biden administration are requiring applicants to prove a need and community support for the charter school, as well as analyzing the enrollment and diversity of the school, and disclosing contracts the school has with for-profit companies.<\/p>\n

Charter schools across the country <\/a>serve 3.5 million students, with 69% being minority students, and more than two thirds being low-income, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Booker’s office for a comment, but they didn’t immediately respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
