American education is in crisis. Test scores are dropping. Whole classrooms are falling through the cracks. The federal Department of Education is being dismantled. 

But what does that mean for our local schools, and where should they go next? 

Grant talks with Jorge Elorza, former Providence, RI mayor and current CEO of Democrats for Education Reform. Elorza wants to embrace an idea that normally comes from Republicans: School Choice. 

They talk all about the failing state of education in the US, can Democrats really make a difference by changing course on decades of policies, and whether education is our way back to a united United States.
