There’s a deeper question to consider: What does it really mean to be someone’s “champion”—and what do left-leaning politicians think it means? Interestingly, after a few random screenshots of a cheerfully crazed middle-aged woman yelling about her garden—“My tomatoes are legendary here in my own neighborhood!”—Hillary’s announcement video opens with a testimony from a young, single mother. “My daughter is about to start kindergarten next year,” the woman says, packing boxes and flexing Popeye muscles next to her little girl, “and so we’re moving, just so she can belong to a better school.”

Honest question: Is this meant to be uplifting? Why should someone have to pack up and move in order to go to a better school? What about the people who don’t have the resources to leave? In fact, wouldn’t it be great if the people who ran our education system would offer parents a choice, giving them access to multiple good schools, rather than walling them off in sub-par districts based on wealth or lack thereof?

Sadly, that’s not likely to happen soon: The people who run our schools are “at the top,” as Ms. Clinton would say, “and the deck is stacked in their favor.” But wait. Jeepers, zoinks, and jinkies, gang! Something doesn’t fit! Our schools are run by … they’re run by … the government! They’re run by politicians and entrenched bureaucrats! Aren’t they supposed to be our “champions”? Aren’t they supposed to free us through their growing control?
