Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans have witnessed how traditional public schools are failing our children. In states that embraced failed lockdowns and school closures, many public school students were forbidden from receiving an in-person education for a year or more. And even as many public schools reopen, unscientific quarantine guidelines continue to deprive countless students of the quality education they deserve.

A decision by the Washington State Supreme Court ruling charter schools unconstitutional has sparked a national conversation on the accountability of charter schools as opposed to traditional public schools, and the virtues of school choice in general. The chief issue in the case was the fact that charter school boards are not elected, and thus not eligible for public funding under the Washington Constitution. Unelected boards are regarded as unaccountable to taxpayers, and therefore undesirable.
