Summary
Steve Moore interviews philanthropist Jeff Yass regarding his efforts to implement school choice and provide private scholarships to families in Philadelphia and New York. Yass highlights a specific proposal to gift up to $40 million in tuition to students affected by school closures, an initiative that he claims was met with hostility and labeled "dastardly" by the teachers' union. The conversation underscores a deep ideological divide, as Yass argues that the current public education system is plagued by excessive administrative costs and failing test scores while prioritizing political power over student outcomes.
