This back-to-school season, parents have a new item on their school supply list: the right to choose where their kids go to school.

School choice firebrand Corey DeAngelis joins the show to break down recent education freedom victories in the states and at the U.S. Supreme Court, why it is imperative for conservatives to capitalize on the School Choice Moment, and what it means to fund students, not systems.

The “General” of the school choice movement, Corey DeAngelis, has been relentless in the pursuit of empowering parents to make the best educational choices for their children. Corey serves as national director of research at the American Federation for Children, the executive director at Educational Freedom Institute, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, and a senior fellow at Reason Foundation.
