This podcast features Jordan Peterson interviewing Dr. Corey DeAngelis about school choice in the United States. The discussion covers the economic inefficiencies of the current public school system, the importance of parental rights in education, and the negative impacts of teacher certification monopolies controlled by left-leaning institutions. DeAngelis argues that school choice improves educational outcomes and increases competition, citing several studies showing positive effects on graduation rates and crime reduction. A key takeaway is DeAngelis's phrase "funding students, not systems," which reframes the debate and highlights the hypocrisy of those who support funding for other sectors but oppose school choice. The interview concludes with a discussion of the political implications of school choice and its potential to transcend partisan divides.
