• 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.
