These states plan an aggressive universal school choice push in 2024: 'Teachers unions overplayed their hand'

More states seek to join the "school choice revolution" that began when Arizona passed universal school choice legislation, making the measure available to all students in the state.
"A school choice revolution has unfolded because the teacher unions overplayed their hand and awakened the sleeping giant: parents --who want more of a say in their kids' education," DeAngelis said after six states passed universal school choice this year. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"So this year we had several states go all in on school choice--passing universal school choice--meaning every single family's eligible, regardless of income, background, zip code." Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
Nine states have passed universal school choice legislation so far with Arizona leading the charge in July 2022. These measures were made possible because of the GOP trifecta in those states (holding the governor's mansion, the state house and state senate) --a trend across all of the red states that passed school choice legislation.
