Episode 135: Charter Schools through the Biden Administration's Lens

For many years, charter schools were supported by both political parties. This position changed with the Biden administration as the teachers' unions decided charter public schools were a fundamental threat to their power and influence. Jim Blew co-founded the Defense of Freedom Institute and has spent his career dedicated to education reform. He served as the Assistant of Education Policy under the former Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos and explains how labor unions are the most powerful force in politics. He shares how Washington D.C. leadership, the growth of bureaucracy, and government overreach prevent students nationally from having opportunities at quality public schools.
