On episode 36 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, I begin by highlighting my favorite parts of Becky Pringle’s astonishing speech to the 2023 NEA Conference. I particularly enjoyed her piratical “arrgggh” and her many Hans-Are-We-the-Baddies? references to “iron will.” After that, I chat with “evangelist” Corey DeAngelis about the dramatic increase in interest in school choice we have seen since Covid-19 changed the world. Among the questions Corey answers are: “What is school choice?” “What is a charter school?” “What is a voucher?” “Which state has the best system?” “Do school-choice advocates oppose public schools?” “Should there be an income cut-off for school-choice programs?” And: “Does American democracy require an education monopoly?”
