Another Democrat leaves her party to stand up for parents

Another legislator switches parties because of the Democrats' opposition to school choice. The party is badly out of touch with voters on education, especially Black voters.

Although school choice support is strong across ideological lines, Democrats by and large take their cues from the teachers unions, who are more focused on maintaining power than empowering parents.   Corey DeAngelis is a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children.

"When I decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice, my Democrat colleagues didn’t stand by me," Mainor told Fox News digital. Much worse than not standing with her, the party establishment made her a target, with some even promising a blank check to whomever would primary her.
