The politics of school vouchers

Despite hard evidence that they work, school voucher programs are still gaining steam. Josh Cowen, professor of education policy at Michigan State University, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why “school choice” is such a hot-button issue, the influential people behind its growth, and why this push is signaling distrust of public schools. His book is “The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers.”
