EdWeek:
Supporters of charter schools interrupted Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Atlanta event Thursday to protest the positions on charters she detailed in the education plan she released as part of her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The group wore t-shirts that read "Powerful Parent Network," and yelled "Our voice. Our choice," Georgia Public Broadcasting reports.
Among Warren's plans: Ending federal funding for charter school expansion and banning charter schools operated by for-profit organizations. Her plan doesn't outline how she would accomplish such a ban at a federal level. The idea may be improbable because charters are largely governed by state and local policy.
As we noted recently, Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders have taken the most aggressive positions on charters of all of the 2020 candidates. We annotated their platforms to help explain their plans.
