Conservative activists and education experts are turning to the ancient writings of Aristotle, Homer, and Dante to push for school choice.
The idea revolves around the notion that school choice will expand the availability of so-called classical or"liberal arts" education, an education curriculum model that relies mostly on primary sources and encourages students to read the"classic" texts of history.
In recent years, classical private schools have seen an explosion of interest, primarily from Christian faith-based families. This growth was one of the topics discussed at a Tuesday event on classical education at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. School choice has enjoyed increased salience as a political issue, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past two years, numerous Republican-controlled states have enacted universal school choice programs that will allow families to use state education funds for private school tuition.
