Hillary Clinton's education policy

Well, maybe more of a bizarre ad-lib than a policy.

Quote:

“This school district and these schools throughout Iowa are doing a better-than-average job,” Clinton said Tuesday at Keota Junior-Senior High School in Keota, Iowa.

“Now, I wouldn’t keep any school open that wasn’t doing a better-than-average job.” Clinton continued.

Taken literally, that would mean shutting down as many as half, possibly more, of the school districts in the country. Moreover, it’s not clear a U.S. president could take such an action since school districts are locally run.

“If a school’s not doing a good job, then, you know, that may not be good for the kids, but when you have a district that is doing a good job, it seems kind of counterproductive to impose financial burdens on it,” Clinton continued.
