A New Kind of Riot

Why does it take a riot to get school district officials to focus on parent demands and student needs? Why did it take several rallies to dismiss Ohio Governor’s ill-conceived proposals to practically abolish all school choice programs? Freedom is a right, and Americans want more freedom, not less. In an age where we are free to do and say so much more than ever before, why are school officials allowed to close the door to freedoms that allow parents to be free to decide what kind of education their children should have? Given the choice, most parents choose good schools, not bad ones like those in Watts. That’s why there are new riots in Watts and elsewhere. Most parents are fed up and they're not going to take it anymore.
