MISSISSIPPI'S SCHOOL CHOICE DEATH CULT
from The Clay Edwards Show · host Clay Edwards
In episode #1154 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards tackles the heated debate on school choice in Mississippi, calling it a "death cult" driven by echo chambers rather than public demand. He dissects misleading polls that frame it as "parental choice," reveals constituent backlash against public-to-public transfers and funding for private/charter schools, and critiques proponents for selective editing and name-calling. Clay shares real conversations with locals, listener texts, and clips from interviews with figures like Senator Dean Kirby and Corey DeAngelis, exposing motivations tied to special interests and big donors. He argues it's socialism in disguise—bringing the top down, not lifting the bottom up—and urges resistance to bills that could harm strong school districts.
