Yeah, thanks so much for having me.
And you let me know if I'm talking too much.
But we're finally winning on the issue of education freedom because the teachers unions really stepped on a rake.
They overplayed their hand, showed their true colors, especially during COVID.
And Scott Adams was steadfast at calling them out every step of the way as well.
He would retweet me very often.
So that was great.
uh a big boost to the school choice movement and he he mentioned you know a lot of the wins that we were racking up on this show uh over time as well but you know before covid we didn't have any states with what i would call universal school choice which was milton friedman's vision who was a nobel laureate economist for the money to follow the child
for every single kid, regardless of income, background or zip code.
In the U.S., we spend about $20,000 a kid, and that's taken through property taxes and other revenue sources.
And you're basically stuck going to your assigned government-run institution that we call public schools.
And if you don't like what you're getting, there's basically no recourse.
You have to move houses to get to a better so-called public school.
And even then, you're still assigned to another government run institution that could go downhill over time.
And the other option is you can pay twice, which who has the money to do that?
You pay for the school you're not using through taxes, the government run facility.
and then pay out of pocket for private school tuition and fees.
So that's not a viable option either for most parents.
And then the unions have told us for a long time that the public schools are so accountable because they have this so-called democratic accountability.
You can show up at the school board meeting, and if you don't like what you're getting, they're going to listen to you, and everything's going to be fine and dandy, and we're all going to get along.
