And so, you know, you have these programs benefiting the least advantaged more than anybody else.

And then you have the Democrats who typically say that they're for helping the disadvantaged, kind of standing at the schoolhouse door saying, no, no, no, you can't come in, you can't leave.

Governor Doug Ducey had a great quote when he passed universal school choice in 2022 in Arizona.

He said something along the lines of 50 plus years ago,

politicians, union-backed politicians stood at the schoolhouse door to keep minorities out.

Today, union-backed politicians are standing at the schoolhouse door to try to keep minority students in, trapping them in their failing government schools.

Exactly.

So, you know, choice is choice.

And if you like that system, and it will, for whatever reason...

Great, but this isn't a racial thing, right?

It's for everybody.

And there's a lot of low-income and non-white kids that use these programs.

And I think that's one of the reasons that DeSantis won his first governor's race in 2018.

The headline in the Wall Street Journal the next day was that school choice moms tip the governor's race for DeSantis.

And that's because there was 100,000 kids using their scholarships at the time.

They were disproportionately non-white and low-income kids.

And the exit polling from CNN showed that Black moms came out in support for DeSantis much higher than expected.

And that was after his opponent called to get rid of their scholarships.

So they might have disagreed with DeSantis and everything else,

But they saw that this basically became a single issue vote for them because they wanted their kid to get a better opportunity than they had.
