Nebraska Needs School Choice

Nebraska needs school choice, which empowers families to select what is best for them, creates pressure on all schools to improve, and fosters harmony among diverse people. To best serve Nebraskans, the amount of choice needs to be much greater than what the state has tried to date. First, because choice is something that all Nebraskans should have; freedom is simply right. Second, because more choosers yields more political support to defend programs from status quo attacks. Finally, if choice comes via tax credits, it provides more choice both for families and taxpayers.  

This paper lays out the major reasons for adopting school choice, including upward academic pressure, family satisfaction, financials savings, fostering liberty, and more. It tackles common objections to choice. It then explains several ways that choice can be supplied. Finally, it discusses model states that have either been long-time choice leaders or have recently seen major expansions.
