From the Sanders plan to the Warren plan to Cory Booker’s reluctance to talk about education reform on the campaign trail, the Democratic Party seems to be backing away from its decades-long embrace of charter schools.

And in our special extended play version for Patreon subscribers, Jennifer and Jack tackle the edu-wars that just keep flaring up between Sanders and Warren supporters.
