You caught me being lazy....
However your same link points out that Bush is again an idiot:
"Bush has made charter schools a major part of his No Child Left Behind
Act. A recent report by the AFT, a noted charter-school opponent, has
shown charter schools not faring as well as public schools on state
administered standardized testing[4], though the report has been
heavily criticized.[5][6]"
