So the Politico article takes on face value Diaz’s comments that dropping enrollment in Broward and Miami-Dade county is because of school choice, but those counties are also experiencing the highest outflows of people in Florida. Plenty of other counties are building new schools.

I think it's very telling that these same types of people will attempt to defeat initiatives to create public alternatives to compete with shitty private industry options. For example, the attempt to create a publicly owned utility provider in Maine, but that is just one of many examples.

But creating grifty private alternatives to deliberately undermined public systems, that's just fine. Ed reformers are hypocrites.
