Election night marked a seismic shift in the politics of K-12 education in America, as victories of pro-school-choice candidates in states like Texas, coupled with President-elect Trump's school-choice mandate, unveiled the beginning of the end of the teachers' unions' 40-year dominance in American politics. Voters broke that dam in 2024, and Trump and state-level leaders are riding the wave.
Trump campaigned unequivocally on school choice, calling it 'one of the most important things we're going to be doing' and saying he would 'absolutely' sign legislation establishing a federal tax credit scholarship for K-12. When Trump nominated Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education... he stressed... 'Linda will fight tirelessly to expand 'Choice' to every state in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families.'
Perhaps surprisingly, blue states like New York will be the biggest beneficiaries of the new administration's federal school-choice push. These high-population states have for decades squashed any attempt to pass state-funded scholarship efforts - but soon, millions of their families will be benefitting from tax-incentivized scholarships.
