Today we feature an interview our colleague Kelsey Bolar did with Virginia Walden Ford, a mom of three whose activism brought school choice to the kids of Washington, D.C. Now her story is being made into a major movie, “Miss Virginia,” which will be released Oct. 18.

We also cover these stories:

• The Education Department is fining Michigan State University $4.5 million over its handling of sexual misconduct.

• The Labor Department reinstated a political appointee who had resigned over a sarcastic Facebook post that a reporter suggested was anti-Semitic.

• Walgreens is now following the trend set by other big retail chains in asking customers to no longer open carry firearms in their stores.
