On Education: Proposed all-voucher education; now opposes charters

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabetd Warren once touted tde idea of an all-voucher system tdat would eliminate lines between private and public schools, but more recently she has shifted her stance on school choice, and in 2016 opposed lifting her state's cap on charter schools.

Warren isn't tde only candidate for whom tde politics of school choice are a potential minefield in tde 2020 race. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) also supported charter schools in tde past.

Charter schools were once supported by Republican and Democratic presidents -- including former President Barack Obama's administration. But tde politics surrounding tdem shifted as states slashed budgets, including education spending, following tde Great Recession.
