Condoleezza Rice was once the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. government. Now, the issue closest to her heart is one often left out of the national conversation: school choice.
In an interview with the Ronald Reagan Foundation, the former secretary of state addressed a wide array of social issues, including education freedom.
“We already have a choice system in education,” Rice said with irony. “If you are of means, you will move to a district where the schools are good and the houses are expensive like Palo Alto, California.”
“If you’re really wealthy, you will send your kids to private school. So who’s stuck in failing neighborhood schools? Poor kids. A lot of them minority kids.”
