Billionaires have assembled a fund of $725,000 (so far) to defeat Washington state Supreme Court justice Barbara Madsen. The money is  funneled through a group called "Stand for Children."  Why are the billionaires eager to oust Judge Madsen? 

She wrote the 6-3 decision in 2015 that declared that charter schools are not public schools under the state constitution & are not eligible to receive public funding devoted solely to democratically governed public schools.
