FreedomWorks Director of Policy Sarah joins FreedomWorks Senior Fellow C.L. Bryant to talk about President Biden's EO spree and National School Choice Week.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As part of our celebration of National School Choice Week, FreedomWorks hosted a webinar yesterday with panelists including newly elected Congressman Byron Donalds (R-Fla.). Panelists discussed how expanding access to school choice can empower families and teachers to provide all students with a high quality education regardless of zip code or background.
"School Choice proponents aim to direct education tax dollars to students and families rather than school systems. The desired result is more freedom and funds for parents to choose the best possible education for their children.\r\n"
Imagine your child’s learning environment is a place where they don’t feel safe. They are harassed and bullied by other students. The facilities heating and air conditioning only work 50 percent of the time. Only one entrance is open and each student must pass through a magnetometer. Some teachers call them stupid and embarrass them in front of their classmates. Think this is an imaginary tale? Think again!
With the wave of school closures stemming from COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, parents have increasingly advocated for school choice during the 2020-2021 school year.
While the impeachment trial continues in the Senate and the House plays partisan games with bills like the upcoming PRO Act, people outside of Washington in “real America” wonder what politicians are actually doing for them. For the answer, this week, they should turn to champions of school choice across the nation, in celebration of National School Choice Week.
“And at the U.S. Department of Education, Common Core is dead.”
This is music to the ears of advocates for federalism, school choice, and, frankly, for student success everywhere. These words came directly from U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos last week at a conference in DC titled “Bush-Obama School Reform: Lessons Learned,” held by the free-enterprise think tank American Enterprise Institute.
