The process of applying for U.S. citizenship has always been complex, but in 2025, under the Trump Administration's intensified immigration policies, the path to naturalization has become even more challenging. With an ongoing crackdown on immigrants, naturalization applications are facing increased scrutiny, particularly for those who obtained green cards through marriage. If the marriage ended in a contentious divorce, applicants may face additional hurdles, including potential interference from a vindictive ex-spouse.Given these obstacles, seeking experienced legal representation is more crucial than ever. Navigating this tough landscape with the right legal support can make all the difference in securing your citizenship.

Brittany Kinser participates on the Earl Ingram Show to discuss her candidacy for the position of state superintendent. As the founder of "95 Wisconsin," an initiative aimed at ensuring that 95% of children attain reading proficiency, she addressed the pressing reading crisis in Milwaukee. During the interview, Kinser emphasized the critical need to focus on children's education and enhance reading programs. She pointed out the negative consequences of discontinuing phonics instruction in schools, which has led to significant reading difficulties among students. Currently, only 30% of children are proficient in reading, a decline attributed to the removal of the phonics program, leaving 70% unable to read. In response to questions about the priorities of children compared to those of the teachers' union, Kinser indicated her intention to emulate the approach of County Executive David Crowley and others. She also showcased her support alongside Brad Schimmel and reaffirmed her dedication to working collaboratively with the teachers' union, parents, and children. Ms. Kinser stated that her counter part Dr. Underly lowered the standards for kids to appear smarter when in actuality it's hurting the children, because they aren't getting the resources to learn correctly.

In this episode of Education Matters with MySchoolOptions, host Cesar Roman is joined by two leading voices in the education policy arena: Betsy Wiley, President and CEO of the Institute for Quality Education, and Robert Enlow, President and CEO of Ed Choice. Together, they dive into the recent media debate surrounding the Indiana voucher program and school choice efforts across the country. The conversation highlights the evolution of school choice in Indiana, particularly through the voucher system, and its role in expanding educational opportunities for families. Betsy and Robert break down the common misconceptions about school vouchers and explain how these programs empower parents, particularly in underserved communities. They also discuss the future of school choice, the importance of charter schools and private schools, and the critical need for educational freedom. Takeaways School choice is rapidly growing, reshaping the landscape of education policy in the U.S. The Indiana voucher program, launched in 2011, has seen significant progress, offering more students access to diverse educational options. Vouchers allow funding to follow the student rather than being tied to the institution. Charter schools and private schools play a vital role in the school choice ecosystem, increasing diversity and innovation in education. Misconceptions about school vouchers often stem from misunderstanding how the system works and its benefits for families. The future of school choice in Indiana could see a move toward universal eligibility, providing every family the opportunity to choose the best education for their child. Milton Friedman's ideas on education continue to influence school choice advocates, pushing for innovation and entrepreneurship in education. Did you find this episode informative? Help us out!
