Congressman Kevin Kiley on Charter Schools, Teachers Unions, & School Closures

Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA), a former teacher in inner-city Los Angeles and California State Assembly member, joins Freedom to Learn to discuss the need for education freedom options that prioritize student success. We address the impact of prolonged Covid-era school closures and the harm caused by powerful political forces, like teachers unions and the politicians they control. As Chair of the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee’s K-12 education subcommittee, Rep. Kiley recently chaired a lively hearing highlighting the benefits of expanding education options like charter schools and education savings accounts. He shares his observations from the hearing and counters some of the claims made that day.🔗 Links & Resources:Visit our website: DFIPolicy.org💡 Stay Connected:Follow us on Instagram: @DFIPolicyFollow us on Twitter: @DFIPolicyFollow us on Facebook: /DFIPolicySubscribe to our YouTube channel (@DFIPolicy) for future episodes!📩 Contact Us:If you have feedback or suggestions for future podcasts, please reach out to us at [email protected].🎧 Thank You for Listening:Freedom to Learn is a production of the Defense of Freedom Institute.
