The dust is finally settling on the latest showdown between EdSec Betsy DeVos and AFT President Randi Weingarten on charter schools, their history, and their potential. The rhetoric earlier this month got ugly.

Sorta like what was conceived decades ago (and supported by Weingarten predecessor Al Shanker).
We explore the dust up and the potential on the latest edition of #TrumpED on the BAM! Radio Network. Give it a listen.
