I'm not worried about my state. We don't suck at education like her home state does. However, as a Special Educator, I have to be a bit concerned with her apparent lack of understand of federal laws that protect our disabled students and her commitment to enforce these laws in states that do not want to comply. 

Also I question her commitment to supporting high quality standards, something states with bad schools often do not want unless there's money involved.
