In this episode of \u201dAmerican Potential,\u201d Jeff Crank welcomes Megan Novak, State Director for Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin, to discuss the pivotal lawsuit challenging Wisconsin\u2019s school choice and charter school programs. Megan outlines the Minocqua Brewing Super PAC\u2019s lawsuit, which falsely claimed these programs divert funds from public schools, ignoring the benefits of educational freedom and the highest-ever public school funding in the state. She highlights how the lawsuit, if successful, would have devastatingly forced 65,000 students back into public schools without a plan for their accommodation.\n\n\n\nMegan shares the history of Wisconsin\u2019s pioneering school choice initiative, started in Milwaukee in 1990 as a bipartisan effort to rescue students from failing public schools. The program has since expanded statewide, serving 65,000 students and becoming a model for educational freedom nationwide. Megan stresses the importance of incremental victories in expanding school choice, reflecting on the program\u2019s growth and its significant positive impact on students\u2019 lives across socioeconomic and racial lines.\n\n\n\nThe episode delves into the broader implications of the lawsuit\u2019s challenge and the importance of defending educational choice. Megan\u2019s insight into the lawsuit\u2019s dismissal and the potential for future legal battles underscores the ongoing fight for educational freedom. Through personal stories and data, this discussion illuminates the transformative power of school choice and the need for vigilant defense against threats to educational liberty in Wisconsin and beyond.\n\n\n\nCheck out American Potential here:\xa0https://americanpotential.com\n\n\n\nCheck out our Spanish episodes here:\xa0https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wSZydeKZ6uOuFlT_1QQ53L7l6AmC83c\n\n\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPotentialPodcast \xa0\n\n\n\nInstagram:\xa0https://www.instagram.com/americanpotentialpodcast/\n\n\n\nX:\xa0https://twitter.com/AMPotentialPod
