Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders Proposes Universal School Choice in Broader Battle for Parental Rights

Several U.S. states are taking steps forward in the battle over school choice and parental rights. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) is making headlines with her new universal school choice proposal which was revealed on Wednesday.

She says it would let parents enroll students in whatever school is best for them.

"Education is the civil rights issue of our day," Sanders tweeted. "Under my leadership we will never again trap kids in failing schools or sentence them to a lifetime in poverty."

President Biden opposes for-profit charter schools and vouchers for low- to middle-income Americans, but school choice programs are expanding in states across the nation.

Most recently, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) scored a major legislative victory, ushering into law one of the nation's most sweeping school choice plans.

Still, it's not all good news for choice. Freedom Works reports that efforts to improve parental choice are being blocked in states like Virginia. WATCH:
