text: Right.  So the federal appointee for DOE does not agree w/ how things are being done now in Michigan.  A state.  So...she wants to make it easier for states (or as the writer comments "influence") to loosen their restrictions on parents to choose how, where, and under what conditions their children can be educated.   Seems simple to me.  If two bakeries are on the same street, but one tastes mo betta, den I go dat one.  My choice.  If parents who live in Kapolei, but work in town, can't bring their kids to town schools, because it's more convenient for them and their work schedules, what could possibly be wrong w/ that?  And I also think the measurables are already there.
