Douglas County, CO Parents Spent Years Fighting a Radical 'Free Market' Experiment with Their Schools—and They Won

quote [ How Douglas County parents and grassroots activists defeated a vast conservative network with deep pockets. Newly elected school board members in Douglas County, Colorado unanimously voted this week to rescind a controversial voucher program. Despite a $100,000 media ad campaign by the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity asking voucher supporters to show up to the board meeting, not a single public comment was made in support of maintaining the program. ]

At least they didn't let things get as bad as Kansas before fighting back against the Kochs.
