Can the left deliver education abundance?

Mostly red states are easing the way for new and innovative schools, blue states must remove unreasonable barriers or risk staying behind in education and in the polls

Every newspaper and podcast is talking about Ezra Klein’s new book and how the left has not delivered abundance in housing and transportation.

I wrote at the Flypaper on how this self-reflection is necessary in education and how educators in NY, NJ, CA, MA, and PA suffered with roadblocks to create new and innovative schools.

“Ezra Klein’s new book has sparked an important discussion about how the left can provide more housing and transportation. However, one area that particularly needs self-reflection is education.

The left has often obstructed the creation of new and innovative schools. Since families began demanding more school choices, blue states and teachers unions have employed various tactics to block the establishment of new schools.”
