How lawmakers can defeat big education

Parents across the country were given a front-row seat to the schooling of their children when the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to close and move to virtual learning in 2021. The response was one many blue state governors and President Joe Biden bureaucrats surely underestimated: Parents were enraged.

Students’ Zoom classes offered a peek behind the curtain of politicized curricula and a closer look at some of the toxic ideologies being taught to their children, including critical race theory and gender ideology. This, paired with the lower standards of excellence in traditional education subjects such as math, science, and reading, has created a new generation of inspired parents who are ready to take on the education monopoly.
