The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program boosted graduation rates by some 41 points, but the National Education Association targeted its elimination as the NEA’s number one legislative priority last year. Congress, and the Obama Department of Education complied, cutting funding for a program which actually saved money.

In this episode of Live the Freedom, Scott Ott interviews the author of the Department of Education study that dubbed the program a success, Dr. Patrick Wolf, a school reform expert from the University of Arkansas’ Department of Education Reform. Scott also hosted an episode of PJTV’s Trifecta on this topic.
