What does it actually look like to unwind federal control of education? Keri D. Ingraham, Director of the Discovery Institute’s American Center for Transforming Education, joins the podcast to discuss the first year of efforts to scale back the U.S. Department of Education and return authority to states and families.

She also explains how the new Education Freedom Tax Credit will expand school choice across the country, but only if all 50 states opt in.
