On July 7, Arizona passed, and their governor has signed into law, a bill that delivers educational freedom for more than 1.1 million students. This is the first state to break the chokehold that public schools and their teachers’ unions have on the national educational system. Parents will have the opportunity to apply for tuition to private/charter schools. West Virginia had passed a similar law but not as comprehensive. This gives parents and students the opportunity to leave the public school system, which in many areas has subpar schools at best and does not provide the education, especially in urban areas, for students to succeed.
If you truly believe in educational opportunities for our students, then contact your Pennsylvania legislators and demand that we pass a similar bill. It’s time to take back our educational system and return it to comprehensive education, instead of the indoctrination centers that many have become.
