Do Voters Care about Education Choice? | Lindsey Burke

Today, education as the key to self-advancement and a better life is still a principle held dear by Americans. But today, many families find the education that they desire for their children out of reach. Public school systems are often mired in bureaucracy and misplaced priorities, which puts political objectives over the wellbeing and education of children. In the absence of competition, academic outcomes are an afterthought. The values of conservative families are denigrated.  We at the Heritage Foundation believe that the best thing we can do for families is to give them choices. And the availability and quality of those choices seems to be on the minds of voters heading to the polls this November.  Lindsey Burke is the Director of the Center of Education Policy here at the Heritage Foundation. She joins the podcast to explain.  — Lindsey Burke on X: https://x.com/lindseymburke Heritage Education Freedom Report Card: https://www.heritage.org/educationreportcard/ — Have thoughts?
