Interview: Corey DeAngelis on Texas School Choice Proposals

See the full interview exclusively at The Texan.School choice advocate and senior fellow at the American Federation for Children, Corey DeAngelis, joined The Texan reporter Cameron Abrams to discuss the ongoing push for school choice policies in Texas. DeAngelis talked about the momentum the school choice movement is enjoying across the nation, the hesitation that rural lawmakers often have despite conservative support for the policy, and how similar proposals have fared in other states. “There's a one-size-fits-all disaster called the government school system that by definition is just never going to meet the needs of individual parents who  are just going to disagree about how they want their kids raised,” said DeAngelis. Exclusively for The Texan subscribers in the video below, DeAngelis also discussed the prospects of a special legislative session in light of a vote in the Texas House suggesting a majority of representatives may oppose the current proposals under consideration. DeAngelis also compared the situation in Texas to that in Iowa, where Governor Kim Reynolds went on the offensive in primary elections against Republican lawmakers who opposed her school choice proposal. “This isn’t the only example of where things like this have happened, but this is the closest example and the most recent example that Texas Republicans in the House should be considering,” said DeAngelis.
