“This film demonstrates that a new, better understanding of the issue of school choice is rapidly
pervading our society: It is a civil rights issue. Trapping poor people in bad schools perpetuates poverty, dependency, crime, and human misery. The current system is in fact an outrage against the nation’s basic values, and that is the stuff of great drama – and the rapidly growing support for reform the nation has experienced in recent years.” S.T. Karnick, Director of Research - The Heartland Institute |
