Jim Blew

Jim Blew, co-founder of the Defense of Freedom Institute and former U.S. Department of Education assistant secretary, dives into the evolving landscape of federal education policy. He advocates for greater private school choice and discusses the new national education tax credit law, emphasizing tax credits for donations to scholarship programs. However, he raises concerns about the law's state opt-in requirement potentially sidelining students in blue states. Blew argues that well-structured federal education tax credits can significantly enhance educational opportunity.
