North Carolina’s Embrace of Educational Freedom Is Pro-Family

The most positive trend in American politics today is the success of universal school choice. Arizona, Iowa, Arkansas, Utah, and Florida have already created pre-funded education savings accounts for every student in their states. With several other states across the country hot on their tails, now it is North Carolina’s turn.

Last month, Senators Michael Lee, Amy Galey, and Lisa Barnes introduced Senate Bill 406, titled “Choose Your School, Choose Your Future.” Since its introduction, every single member of the senate Republican caucus has signed on as a co-sponsor to the bill. Now is the time for universal school choice in North Carolina. Groups such as Americans for Prosperity-North Carolina, the LIBRE Initiative, and “yes. every kid.” are prepared to go all-in with principled education champions in Raleigh.
