The message of School Choice Week: 'Parents know better than bureaucrats'

Jim Jamitis | 12:40 AM on January 29, 2015

The political left will cheer a proposal aimed at making it easier for students to attend the college of their choice, but they continue to fight tooth and nail against any proposal to restore that same freedom to K-12 students and their parents. National School Choice Week is all about fighting for families right to choose how and where to educate their children.

We shouldn't rest until every child in America has a chance to receive an excellent education #SCW #SchoolChoice https://t.co/HVCzD0mpHg
