There\u2019s a war being waged for America\u2019s elementary, middle, and high school students. But the leftist agenda-driven campaign that began behind the closed doors of teachers unions and government-run schools is now out in the open and has led to a \u201cparent revolution,\u201d says Corey DeAngelis.\xa0\nThe "teachers unions overplayed their hand and awakened a sleeping giant, which happens to be parents who want more of a say in their kids' education," says DeAngelis, author of \u201cThe Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.\u201d\xa0\xa0\nDeAngelis\u2014sometimes referred to as the "school choice evangelist"\u2014dedicated his new book to "Randi Weingarten [president of the American Federation of Teachers] and the teachers unions for inadvertently doing more to advance school choice and homeschooling than anyone could have ever imagined."\nSchool choice programs, which give parents the opportunity to use their tax dollars to send their children to a private school or even to homeschool them, are restoring parents' power over their children\u2019s education. Already, states across America are embracing school choice.\xa0\n"We now have 11 states with universal school choice," DeAngelis says, adding the programs are a fulfillment of the late Nobel Prize-winning economist "Milton Friedman's vision for all families" to have choice over their children's education.\nDeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children and a visiting fellow at Stanford University\u2019s Hoover Institution, and Jason Bedrick, a research fellow in the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation, join \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss why school choice programs are a rising tide that will lift all of America\u2019s education system.\xa0(Heritage founded the Daily Signal in 2014.)\nEnjoy the show!\n\n Hosted on Acast.
