Parental Choice Rally in Florida



There's a widespread misperception that parental choice is a Republican plot to undermine public schools and harm inner-city children.  The first part of that sentence is, sadly, all too true -- it's mostly Republicans that support parental choice -- but the latter is 100% false.  It's precisely inner-city children and their parents who benefit from and are empowered by parental choice, since nearly all parental choice plans in existence (and proposed) are narrowly targeted toward these children.  And once they get parental choice, they understand the false bill of goods they've been sold by their "leaders" and will fight like hornets to keep choice -- as evidence, how many wealthy, white, Republicans do you see in this video of a rally in April to save school choice in Florida?
