Stack of books on the table of public library

In our government-run public schools, students often come last.

It’s time to put kids first. It’s time to give parents a choice in how and where their children learn. And it’s time to allow education funding to follow students, not ideologically-captured systems.

Teachers unions and union-supported school board members created a learning loss, discipline, and chronic absenteeism crisis by fighting to keep public schools closed during the Covid era.

Parents are eagerly pursuing alternatives to their residentially-assigned school, and using state education freedom programs to access education options that meet their children’s individual needs.
Parents need leverage. They deserve more control and better options when it comes to their children’s education. Education should prioritize students over systems.
