This is what happens when your policy agenda is framed by power, image and money.
"[Teachers unions'] selfish desires already fueled momentum for 17 states to enact or expand programs to fund students rather than school systems this year — and support for school choice is at an all-time high.
If unions keep it up, they might just destroy their own empire."

: Idaho’s Blaine Amendment is exactly the kind the US Supreme Court said cannot be used to block educational choice programs.
Parents have a constitutional right to direct the dollars allocated for their children’s education.
#Espinoza
The Idaho Education Committee voted to table a school choice bill yesterday.
They were misled to believe that the state Attorney General said the bill was unconstitutional
Attorney General: "HB 669.. is still likely constitutional"
This bill should be reconsidered immediately.
