That's the latest experiment, and it's peer-reviewed, published. Oh, that's really too bad. And the head starts that I've seen as far as the RCTs had the fade-outs. But one more thing that I think that I added that was really important to the conversation about school choice. I mean, one thing, it's not all me, right? It was COVID that helped open the eyes of parents.

I was just there with the right ideas laying around at the time, as Milton Friedman famously put it. Yeah, yeah. We were taking a bipartisan strategy for a long time to get school choice, and I'm sure you've heard this before where people say school choice is a civil rights issue of our time.

We still have elected officials saying these things using left-leaning arguments to advance school choice, which I think they're all good arguments. It's true that the lowest income are in the worst schools, that they would benefit the most. School choice is an equalizer. But there's also right-leaning arguments you make about choosing schools that align with your values.

The public schools are Marxist. We don't want gender ideology. We want schools that teach you that America is a great country, not a horrible country. And so you can make all these different types of arguments, but

When you go into a red state making blue state arguments, these lefty arguments, you might alienate some of the Republican legislators who might say, this isn't my issue, so I'm not going to lead on it. And then the Democrats, they're controlled by the teachers' unions anyway, so you're not going to make much ground with them

Regardless of the argument you're making, they respond to power, not logic. And then if you alienate the Republicans, we weren't really getting school choice passed in blue states or red states in a meaningful way. But now it's become more of a GOP litmus test issue.

In Texas, my home state, we failed on school choice last year because we had 21 Republicans join all the Democrats in the House to kill school choice.
