Yeah, we need alternative certification. So I think you're right that we have to have a multi-pronged approach. School choice isn't the silver bullet for everything. Neither is alternative certification. We should fight the battle on multiple fronts. And some people do set up this false dichotomy. They'll say, oh, you're saying school choice will cure everything. Well, not exactly.

We should also reform the public school system. You should still go to your school board and try to change things because a lot of kids are still going to go to the public schools, whether you have school choice or not. But we also need an escape valve. I mean, for example –

If you only try to change the system from the top down, which is what we've done partially in my home state of Texas, some good tweaks. They've banned critical race theory. They're talking about banning DEI in public schools this year as well. We have Trump with his executive orders helping out as well. But we have undercover video from a group called Accuracy in Media.

They've gone into all these public school districts in red states like my home state of Texas where they've gotten these administrators to admit on undercover video that they're still teaching things that are banned. Sure. Of course they are. And they're proud about it. They're like, yeah, we're still doing CRT, but we're just going to call it something else. How do you ban ideas?

Behind closed doors, they continue to do what they want.

Okay, so... So I'm not saying that we shouldn't try because it isn't perfect enforcement, but we should have both of these. We need top-down accountability but also bottom-up. If you're a parent, you get a whiff of these things happening. Even if you can't prove it before a judge and change the school system that way, you need to be able to say, you know what? Screw this.

I'm sending my kids somewhere else. And I think that would give a pressure for the public schools to say, let's knock it off. I don't want to irritate anybody on the left or the right. I'm going to focus on the basics, math, reading, and writing. And then, you know, you're not going to have all of them. And so you might say, well, what about the private schools?

Some of them, they also operate in this kind of small market right now already when you don't have choice. But when you unleash the market and families can vote with their feet, you'll have a different supply of private schools pop up as well. Especially right now, we're pushing something called education savings accounts.
