What do I do is I point out the hypocrisy here. The bill AB1, I authored it, to restore our standards, to go back to the high standards that Superintendent then Evers put in place. Not one Democrat voted in favor of it. What's the governor going to do? You know, as we move this forward, going through and we pass it in the Senate, I'm sure we will. Will any Democrats vote for it? (14:42–14:45)
