The watchword is very simple: trust parents, not bureaucracies; and fund students, not systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just a slogan. In Arizona, it\u2019s now policy. Thanks to legislation signed by Gov. Doug Ducey this summer, from now on, instead of sending dollars to school districts, every student in the state will receive $7,000 in an Education Savings Account to use at any school or for any educational approach, every year, from kindergarten through high school. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no reason other states &#8212; Texas, in particular &#8212; should not follow suit. The Lone Star State is surrounded by neighbors that have embraced education choice: Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. And let\u2019s be frank: because of its size and influence, Texas achieving universal school choice would create even greater momentum for passing similar legislation in other states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/america-school-choice-moment-midterm-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch the latest video at foxnews.com The politics of education have changed so much, so<span class=\"more-button\"><a href=\"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/americas-school-choice-moment-cant-be-missed-at-midterm-elections\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">America&#8217;s school choice moment can&#8217;t be missed at midterm elections<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":625,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1574"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1581,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1574\/revisions\/1581"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatistandfor.co\/conservativecitizen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
