Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign rally in Atlanta on Thursday was derailed by parents protesting the Massachusetts senator’s opposition to charter schools.
The group of mostly black parents interrupted Warren’s event, which was aimed at courting black women voters, with chants of “Our children, our choice!” and “We want to be heard!”

The protesters promoted their disruption on Twitter using the hashtag #PowerfulParentNetwork. Warren has pledged to crack down on school choice if elected, despite the fact that publicly available records show she sent her own son to an elite private school.
The protesters were eventually escorted out of the event by security.
