Did you see the part where they might grant waivers to individual districts that decide to play ball? Fucking miserable. It's a braindead law created by right-wing heartless slugs. It's makes the word "Kafkaesque" a cliche'.

I was glad to see Torlakson *and* Brown pushing back. Torlakson is great, Brown can sometimes be inconsistant on education, to say the least...
