In a shocking twist (🙄), the anti-CRT mobs are now anti-gun reform & continue to represent only about 8% of families. Again, as the data shows us, the vast majority of American families support gun reform & want something done about SCHOOL SHOOTINGS NOW. Pay attention, media.

"Policies that focus on educational opportunity and student success do not have boundaries. Instead, they break down outdated practices that restrict students to certain school zones, require certain enrollment qualifications and deny flexible access to public classrooms."
Today, we released four new policies that can help states eliminate school boundaries and make education options more accessible to students and their families. Check it out: excelined.org/2022/05/17/fou…
