When asked how parents can help protect education independence, Aundrea Gomez simply replied, “Get educated on the issue, and then start having conversations in your community.”
In Episode 137 of Refining Rhetoric, Gomez and Robert Bortins discuss what you need to know about school choice policies and how citizens across the nation can get involved to protect education independence for their families and future. They discuss why many conservative think tanks support school choice policies, warn about the probable restrictions tied to school choice funds, and Gomez outlines how everyday moms and dads can engage with their legislators and protect independence in their state.
We, as citizens, need to engage with those who we select to represent us. As Gomez points out, “The government can’t work, or should not be working, in a silo. It should be in a partnership with the citizens.” So, let’s get involved to promote and protect educational freedoms today! A great first step is to join the Education Independence Network.
