This episode of What’s Ahead explores the astonishing ramifications of a school choice bill just passed by the Arizona legislature that will usher in an education upheaval not only in the Grand Canyon state but also around the country.
Arizona will be dramatically expanding its education savings account program to all the state’s 1 million-plus K-12 kids, regardless of household income. Nearly $7,000 per student will go to an account to cover school expenses. Private schools, parochial schools or home schoolers are eligible to receive this money.
These Empowerment Scholarship Accounts will truly bust the government education monopoly. Children’s educational opportunities will no longer be blighted by where they live.
This long-overdue revolution was given immense impetus by the destructive arrogance of teachers unions and school bureaucracies as well as by parental revulsion over school curriculums revealed by the Covid-19 lockdowns.
