WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Federation for Children, a pro-school choice advocacy group, is touting nationwide momentum for its cause in the wake of the 2016 election.
A total of 80 out of 82 candidates endorsed by the AFC won their races across the country on election night, making it clear that many parents are fed up with the dysfunctional public education system and want better choices in how they educate their children.
“Tonight’s results send a clear and concise message to elected officials: voters support educational choice,” AFC chairwoman Betsy DeVos said in a prepared statement. “Voters turned out to the polls in support of school choice and candidates who support educational options for children in all parts of the country.
“Time and again we have seen strong support for school choice candidates, but the 2016 election has shown this support is stronger than ever before,” she continued. “As we toward 2017, AFC will continue to advocate on behalf of parents who demand access to educational choice.”
The victory of Republican Donald Trump as the next President of the United States headlined pro-school choice victories, as Trump has repeatedly signaled his intent to expand school choice and state control over education. MORE
Well done. USA! USA! USA!
Trump repeatedly called for not only elimination of the federal government involvement in education but also for choice. Bet your ass the NEA sees it’s deathgrip loosening up.
It’s a long road back to producing a well educated population that can critically think and is taught our traditional values & principles. The long road to destroying education didn’t stop the REgressives over a 100 years ago.
If he gets rid of the Dept/Education, I’m baking a cake.
Can’t get rid of Common Core fast enough!!
That is nothing more than a radical Left-wing Bill Ayers terrorist plot to cripple the minds of the next generation! Hopefully we can recover some of them!
Not coincidently, all except NV went for Trump.
The money should follow the child. Send a check to the parent(s) in which they then enroll the child in the school of their choice. The child has to maintain a C or better to receive funding for the next school year.
