I had not heard about the 'trigger' laws movement.

Naturally, this will immediately 'trigger' the usual response from radical teachers and other defenders of the status quo -- but if anyone has any real comments here I'm curious about the strengths and weaknesses of this idea.

For one, I do find that the argument that 51% at any one moment is sufficient to 'trigger' change. And I'm a supporter of charters. But mob rule is a valid concern.
