What is education freedom—and why is it becoming one of the most important policy movements in America today?
On this episode of Main Street Matters, Jordan Bruneau sits down with Jonathan Williams to break down the rapid expansion of school choice across the country and what it means for families, students, and small businesses.
They discuss how policies like education savings accounts (ESAs), tax credit scholarships, and open enrollment are giving parents more control over their children’s education—regardless of income or ZIP code. The conversation also dives into the newly passed federal education tax credit program, how states are opting in, and what it means for taxpayers and donors starting in 2027.
