The "school choice" ruse exposed
from The Ron Show Hosted by Ron Roberts
First, a little headline catch-up, what with the Atlanta City Council putting some American Recovery Program dollars to work to aid in police, fire & correctional officer retention. The use? $500,000 will be distributed to aid in those employees renting apartments. The problem? I mean, it's nice and all, but home ownership allows employees & their families to put down ROOTS in the city - and THAT aids retention, along with familial & generational wealth - FAR more. My guest today is Dr. Stephen Owens with the Georgia Budget & Policy Institute. It's his tweet that caught my eye last week as he noted the side-stepping of reason in a guest op/ed in last week's AJC entitled "Increase choice as public schools can't meet al kids' needs." Well no kidding; so less funding's going to help?
