Robert Leonard’s worst case scenario looks like exactly what Republicans want - the destruction of public education.

Iowans who lived in NE Iowa during the Postville raids, arrests, and deportations have witnessed what happened to families, children, schools, businesses..to society. Fortunately, during those raids, Culver/Judge supported the efforts of many of their cabinet (I helped lead it) to ameliorate the impact. But most people do not know this--it was only 16? years ago. Books have been written on Postville, but none of the books captured what was happening in NE Iowa, when the largest employer in a 50 mile radius, closed down. Iowa govt. helped significantly; probably many people in NE Iowa voted for Trump, forgetting about what happened.
