Although I'm no fan of charters, I'm skeptical of the map's accuracy. I checked the map for my area (Pueblo, CO) and the they have a charter listed as closed that is still open.(Dolores Huerta Prep HS)
How is Scott Walker going to carry Wisconsin? In no poll there has he ever come close to matching Hillary. He now trails her by 10.5% in the current Real Clear Politics polling average. What's his path to 270 without his home state?

It's about time the stranglehold unions have had on the American education system has been loosened. For decades the unions have demanded more and more money "for the children". As education funding skyrocketed the results of American students plummeted compared to the rest of the world. Apparently all the money "for the children" went directly to obscene pensions, salaries and benefits of teachers. Teachers retire in their 50's while the average taxpayer works until 67+. Teachers receive $100,000+ pensions guaranteed for life while the average taxpayer has no guarantee of a decent retirement. Teachers pay nothing for their healthcare while the average taxpayer struggles to pay thousands of dollars every year for health coverage. It's about time vouchers brought some competition to the education monopoly. Teachers have had it too easy for too many years. Next we need to move all teachers to 401K plans, make them pay for their own healthcare, limit their salaries to the rate of inflation, eliminate guaranteed STEP raises, eliminate collective bargaining, eliminate tenure and expand the school year. Another words...have them go to work like every other American taxpayer. Taxpayers, parents and students have had it with unions buying the politicians and school boards they "negotiate" with. Our property taxes climb each year and we have nothing to show for it. Forget the 1%, public union members are the true privileged class in America.
How is lobbying against renewable energy not relying on terrorist countries for our energy? And I suppose giving tax dollars to private schools to teach political and religious ideology instead of Civics and science is your idea a good education. Not to mention gutting public school education in the process and perpetuating a second class education for the lower classes.
