Dr. Robert Cotto from Trinity College talking "School Choice" with Dr. Jesse P. Turner Literacy Professor Emeritus, and Readman: Truth to Power Hour host on 103.5 FM New Haven on Friday 6/6/25.
Dr. Cotto and I see school choice as smoke and mirrors for the status quo of inequality here in Connecticut, and around the nation. This supposedly "School Choice" gives cover to legislative leaders for inequality in our schools. It leads to massive declines in the local public school population. It takes away much needed funding from community public schools. School choice has not desegregated our schools. It has actually increased racial isolation for Black and Brown children.
Take a quick look at the desegregation failure of School Choice programs. Here is a link to UCONN https://today.uconn.edu/2022/06/understanding-segregation-and-school-choice/#
