Everyone wants their kids to get the best education, but there are major disputes on the right and moral way to make it happen. Anya Kamenetz, an education correspondent at NPR, and Mark Winston Griffith, the executive director of the Brooklyn movement Center and co-host of the podcast “School Colors,” a documentary series about how race, class, and power shape American cities and schools, talk about the current presidential candidates' education policies and their stances on the issue of school choice.
