Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears on Tuesday renewed her call for school choice after Virginia’s Advanced Placement ranking dropped from the 9th to 11th spot in the nation.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gives a political speech at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, April 1, 2023 in Garden City, New York.Earle-Sears pushed for a school choice bill that would allow parents to use state education funding to cover the costs of educational opportunities outside the public school system, a move that has failed in the state legislature this year.
However, red-state governors across the country have passed universal school choice legislation, igniting what experts call a"revolution." Most recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, R., signed universal school choice into law, joining several other Republican governors. The school choice movement has achieved several significant victories in pushing universal school choice legislation, which did not exist anywhere in the country a year ago. As of now, six states passed universal school choice, including Utah, Iowa, Arizona, West Virginia, and Arkansas.
School choice became a salient issue after the COVID-19-induced lockdowns sparked a conversation on the scope of the government’s authority and the type of content that should be taught to children from public school curricula.
