Hillary Clinton Booed by Teachers over Charter School Comment
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton faced more criticism from teachers during a
speech at the National Education Association's assembly Tuesday, when
she provoked booing from unionized teachers by suggesting public schools
and charter schools work together to improve education.

Hillary Clinton: "When schools get it right, whether they're traditional
public schools or public charter schools, let's figure out what's
working."

Teachers: "Boo!"

Hillary Clinton: "No, let's figure out what's working, and share it with
schools across America. We can do that. We've got no time for all these
education wars."

The National Education Association is the largest teachers' union. Its
leadership endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2015, despite protests from some
of its rank-and-file members who supported Bernie Sanders.
