The Appalachian Podcast

Due to weather issues we recorded a Spaces on X this week as our show, and we were lucky to hit a home run. We were joined by Cory DeAngelis, ( Executive Director at Educational Freedom Institute, senior fellow at the American Culture Project, adjunct scholar at the Cato institute, and board member at Liberty Justice Center) author of "School Choice Myths", about the direction of the education system and what options parents may discover in the near future.
