Summary

Ravi sits down with Corey DeAngelis, a self-described “school choice evangelist” and one of the most controversial figures in education policy circles. Corey is a Senior Fellow at the American Federation for Children, where he writes and advocates in support of vouchers and Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).  ESAs and vouchers are among the most important policy issues in K-12 education right now, and Corey and Ravi spend the beginning of this conversation on common ground on high-level theories around educational freedom. They then turn to areas where they either disagree – or where they interpret data differently.

Hello, everybody. This is Robbie Gupta. And starting now, we're going to drop special

0:12.1

episodes on this feed related to education. And for those of you listen to Regressives,

0:17.5

which is another sort of series that we put on this feed in addition to the

0:22.2

last debate show, it's going to work similar to that in the sense that every couple of

0:26.1

weeks when we have a really important education discussion, I want you to hear it sometimes

0:31.3

in long format, you know, something longer than a segment, you know. And so that's what we're doing here. And it's

0:38.8

going to be under the Enbrolio banner. Enbrolio is our newsletter for the Lost Debate. You can go

0:44.3

And I talked to Corey DeAngelis today, who's a big school choice proponent, and he's somebody who is

very pro-voucher, very pro-education savings account, and don't worry, listener, we'll explain what

1:19.3

those concepts mean.

1:20.8

And in this interview, there's basically two parts to it.

1:24.5

And the first part, we find common ground where I think we agree on some

1:28.7

high-level points about how government service is delivered. And then in the second part of this

1:33.5

interview, I think you'll notice there are certain areas where we depart, like how regulated

certain aspects of school choice should be, whether we should use standardized testing and other

1:43.2

metrics to evaluate the quality of

1:45.4

those programs, et cetera.

1:47.0
