Big step. And the experience-that-should-never-have-happened probably has lessened their tendency to be blinded by factional hostilities to basic good sense.

I see no reason to assume these voters won't care about attacks on education by extremists in state government. Those they regard that way, of course. Factionalism and its fears of "the other" don't exactly encourage thinking.
