According to this opinion piece, after a few upstarts vied for the title, Florida still retains the school choice crown.

I’ve blogged about Parental Rights and School Choice initiatives previously. In particular, Christian parents are fed up with what they’ve learned about their local schools. The Pandemic, school closings, remote learning, and the Gender Ideology taught and deceptively defended there, have brought School Choice initiatives back to the forefront of parental concerns.

The opinion piece is about how Florida has passed a new law that expands school choice options for all students in the state. The law allows families to use education savings accounts (ESA) to pay for various educational expenses, such as tuition at a private school, tutoring, or curriculum. The law also removes income restrictions and enrollment caps for the ESA program. The article praises Florida for being a leader in school choice and says that the law will give more freedom and opportunities to families and students.

Florida is the sixth state to pass universal school choice legislation, following West Virginia, Arizona, Iowa, Utah, and Arkansas.

This could be the biggest year for school choice in American history.
