" The School Choice Evangelist" says, "Radicals are Ruining Our Schools"

For years Corey DeAngelis has been exposing the corrupt school system that is largely controlled by powerful unions. Often Dr. DeAngelis exposes the hypocrisy of his opponents. His new book earns rave reviews and helps empower parents. 

Deangelis is an Italian surname that means "of the angels". It is derived from the personal name Angelo, and the Latin suffix "-is" gives it a broader meaning of "belonging to, of". In this case, it means "member of the Angeli family". It may also have been a Latinized nickname for a foundling, meaning "from the angels". As a nickname, Deangelis may have described someone who was "angelic" or a religious messenger.

The Perfect Storm

During COVID-19, the teacher unions were exposed, and school choice gained traction.  Much of which can be directly related to the work of Corey DeAngelis.

According to a new poll from RealClear Opinion Research, 2023, the concept of school choice gets the support  66% of Democrats, 80% of Republicans, and 69% of Independents saying they support such a policy. Additionally, 70% of Asian, 73% of Black, 71% of Hispanic, and 71% of White voters.  Yet it is rare for a Democrat politician to speak in favor of school choice. 

Corey points out that, "The teachers unions overplayed their hand and awakened a sleeping giant, which happens to be parents who want more of a say in their kids’ education.”   

My favorite line of Corey, is when tweeting a so-called pro government school advocate is, "But you sent your kids to private schools." Or he tweets, "Fund students, not systems."

My passion for exposing government schools was documented in Escape from Uncle Sam's Plantation, much of which cites Corey's research.  As one of this government school teachers for decades, Dr. DeAngelis has been an angel 😇 for teachers and parents that want the truth about education in America. 

President Trump's Endorsement 

DeAngelis points out the apparent reason Democrat politicians rarely speak for their constituents on the issue of school choice.  

The unions are out of touch.

"The National School Choice Awareness Foundation reveals that 72% of parents considered new schools for their children in 2023 — a massive 35% increase from 2022. Additionally, more than 70% of parents in nearly every state support the implementation of school choice policies."

School Choice (radical) Opponents exposed 

House Bill 1905, by state Rep. Andy Fugate, D-Oklahoma City, says “private schools which receive state funds shall not use the state funds to provide religious instruction or religious activities.

"Public funding should not be going to private schools. Let’s invest in the kids and communities who need safe, effective, and reliable schools the most." -Randi Weingarten

Of course if the schools were safe and effective, people would choose to stay,  and anti-choice advocates would have nothing to fear about giving parents choice.  Many are simply dangerous and complete failures.  

A Real Endorsement 

"For anyone who still feels their voice is being ignored as you advocate for your child, "The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Schools," will give you insight and hope to continue speaking out and advocating with force and determination."

The bottom line...

To many, Corey DeAngelis is an American hero.  As a parent and two decade teacher in government schools, it is easy to recognize who is America's greatest advocate for school choice.  As his last name implies, for parents that yearn for  school choice, Corey is an angel.
