“I hope people realize that these ideas about how to bring private schools under control have already been outlined, have already been explored by the United Nations, and they’re not messing around.” —Alex Newman
Alex Newman joins Robert Bortins on Episode 236 of Refining Rhetoric to discuss the nefarious motives of school choice lobbyists and the dangerous results of school choice policies. During the conversation, Newman outlines how school choice policies upended private education in Sweden, reveals UNESCO’s plans for school choice policies in America, and delivers a compelling message to lawmakers about why they should reject school choice legislation.
It is important that we understand the immediate implications of these policies. School choice has been tried, and it has failed. It is time for us to reject market capture and promote education independence!
