School Choice Boyz is a targeted initiative focused on bringing awareness to how education, and education freedom, lies at the roots of society’s most crucial issues. We believe that empowering every student with the ability to access the education that best fits their needs is not only the right thing to do, but also a crucial step in addressing widespread societal issues in the United States.
The “School Choice Boyz” – Walter and Nathan – are direct beneficiaries of school choice programs in Ohio and Florida, and they are committed to delivering those same opportunities to other students like themselves.
As part of the American Federation for Children, the School Choice Boyz will be touring the United States to spread awareness about school choice and how crucially education is to issues of social justice, economic opportunity, and personal freedom.
