D.C. Opportunity Scholarships: Parents and Students Speak Out

As promised, here is the remaining video from yesterday’s Save School Choice Rally in Washington, D.C. These videos feature a parent, two students, who will be directly impacted by the loss of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarships, which allow them to attend their respective schools: Archbishop Carroll and Georgetown Day, and School Choice Activist Virginia Walden Ford, who delivered 7,000 petitions to the White House at the end of the rally.

If the D.C. Opportunity Scholarships are eliminated, the future of these two young men could be detrimentally impacted.

Children are our future, and this fight will not just impact D.C. It will impact America and the future of ensuring school choice for every parent in our great nation.

  1. What a shame we live in a country where we actually need to fight for the freedom to educate our children as we wish.
