As state legislators ponder lifting the charter school cap, one representative says her views are ‘evolving’:

Still, charter schools do seem to be winning over some critics. Rep. Pricey Harrison , a Greensboro Democrat, opposed charters early in her legislative career but said her views are evolving.

“Having the president endorse the notion from a pretty progressive perspective does assuage the concerns of some of the folks here who view it as a partisan issue,” she said.

Note that it’s Democrats who oppose lifting the charter school cap under pressure from the educational establishment.
