These parents might miss school choice revolution because of one politician

This bad news for parents comes as other states are empowering all families with education freedom.

Corey A. DeAngelis is National Director of Research at the American Federation for Children and Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute.

The Wyoming Freedom Scholarship Act would create an education savings account program allowing all families in the state to take their children’s taxpayer-funded education dollars to the education providers of their choosing. State funding would follow the student to an education savings account that their parents could use for any approved education expenses including private school tuition, tutoring, online learning, and instructional materials.

Wyoming is the "most Republican state" according to Gallup polling and the Cook Partisan Voting Index. School choice is on the Republican Party platform, and the GOP controls more than 90 percent of the seats in the Wyoming House, but Speaker Sommers still will not allow the bill to leave his drawer.
