On this edition of Your Call's Media Rountable, Propublica reporter Alec MacGillis discusses his new investigation, Conservatives Go to War — Against Each Other — Over School Vouchers

That is, it’s the reddest regions of these red and purple states that are putting up some of the strongest resistance to the conservative assault on public schools.
