It's whether public schools should exist at all. I've got less than 30 seconds and I forgot to ask you about the constitutional amendment that people are going to see tomorrow. So Republicans know that our state already requires a photo id. They've tried to make it hard to get a photo id. Susan Crawford sued to ensure people can get a free photo id. Republicans have a constitutional amendment to take our photo ID law and put it in the constitution. (12:47–12:53)
