Opinion from Phil Boas: Iowa is the next state on the cusp of Arizona-style school choice for all.
Iowa governor makes push for universal choicecalled on her Legislature to pass universal school choiceWhile no sure thing, the plan has a running start in Iowa this year as Reynolds, a Republican, enjoys a legislature controlled by her own party in which the majority grew even stronger last election.“We have incredible public schools filled with amazing, dedicated teachers. My daughter is one of them,” Reynolds said.
In Iowa’s equivalent of the State of the State address , Reynolds recalled the opposition and “hysteria” she faced when trying to reopen public schools. The COVID-19 pandemic, which so far has killed nearly 7 million people globally, has had significant political fallout already in the United States. Donald Trump’s inability to manage the outbreak and its economic downfall may have cost him the 2020 election. At the grass roots, the refusal of teachers unions locally and nationally to reopen schools stoked the anger of parents across America and led to sweeping leadership changes in school boards.
The public-school establishment recoiled at Arizona’s expanded Empowerment Scholarship Account, vowing to roll it back with a ballot initiative. Likewise, it is pushing back in Iowa.
