About this listen

Discover an eye-opening conversation on the Virtuous Leaders Podcast as Dr. Johann D'Souza connects with Keri Ingraham, the dedicated Director of the American Center for Transforming Education at Discovery Institute.


With a remarkable journey from classroom teacher to policy advocate, Keri has been instrumental in advancing education freedom, recently witnessing the historic dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education at a White House event.


Her work focuses on empowering parents through school choice and reshaping education for a brighter future.


Top 5 Insights from Keri Ingraham

• Keri’s advocacy for education freedom led to her White House invitation to see the executive signing to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, a major step against bureaucracy.

• She reports significant progress, with over 50% of U.S. kids now eligible for school choice, up from less than 1% in 2020, including 16 states with universal programs.

• The Trump administration has already cut millions in DEI funding, removed related resources, and downsized Department staff from over 4,000 to 2,000, prioritizing core academics.

• Keri debunks fears of government overreach via vouchers, noting funds go to parents, not schools, and overregulation often occurs in states blocking school choice.

• She critiques teacher unions for prioritizing power over kids’ learning, citing delays in school reopenings during COVID for political demands unrelated to education.
