You’d think that school choice would be safe in Milwaukee, a city where 20 percent of children attend a school of choice. But you would be wrong. That’s the word from Senator Jeff Plate (D-Milwaukee). Opponents of choice would be happy to see it die right now, but they are willing to see it die by a thousand cuts.
Some day the value of school choice we be so widely shared that a defense of the status quo will be unthinkable. But it's going to be a long battle, even in city with a relatively long history of choice.
