My column yesterday called the lawsuit filed by the WEA, WASA a last-gasp effort, another instance of losers litigating after being defeated at the polls. I look at some recent data giving high marks to charter school performance across the country and a positive evaluation of Washington’s Charter School Law, adopted as Initiative 1240. I conclude:

In a column last November, I asked whether charter school opponents remained intransigent because they believe the schools will fail, or because they fear they might succeed.

With this lawsuit, the opponents answer the question. They can’t abide competition and choice.

For more on the issue, see the WEA and this AP story.
