Pennsylvania had a real shot at school choice—and even after the legislature moved it forward, Gov. Josh Shapiro line-item vetoed the voucher/scholarship funding. Why? Vince breaks down the political reality: teachers unions protect their power, and Democrats protect the unions—even when families are begging for better schools. 
Then comes the “consolation prize” politics: Shapiro later signed Pennsylvania’s CROWN Act, expanding protections against hair-based discrimination—while parents are still trapped in failing schools. 
Vince contrasts Pennsylvania’s stagnation with the “Mississippi Miracle”—where reading outcomes improved dramatically with reforms like a stronger reading/phonics approach and accountability. 
🔥 If you care about kids learning to read, real opportunity, and exposing political games—this episode is for you.
