Matt Beienburg on scholarship accounts for all students and the future of education in Arizona

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck and Sam are joined by Pardis Mahdavi, an Iranian-American scholar who recently published an incredible op-ed in the Washington Post, “When Iran's ‘morality police' came for me.” Later in the show, Matt Beienburg of the Goldwater Institute joins us with an update on Arizona's ESA program.-Pardis Mahdavi is the dean of the social sciences division in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University, and a professor in ASU's School of Social Transformation. Mahdavi's approach to higher education has been informed by her personal journey as an Iranian-American woman growing up in the U.S., as well as her training as an anthropologist where she learned to be reflexive about complex power dynamics. She has focused her academic career on diversity, inclusion, human trafficking, migration, sexuality, human rights, feminism and public health.Prior to joining ASU, she was the acting dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. Before coming to Denver, she was at Pomona College from 2006 to 2017, where she most recently served as professor and chair of anthropology, director of the Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College, as well as dean of women.She has published five single authored books and one edited volume in addition to numerous journal and news articles.

Last week I reported on a huge victory for state-based liberty in Arizona, where Governor Doug Ducey recently signed into law a bill that makes school choice available to all K-12 students in the Grand Canyon State.HB 2853 made universal an earlier “Empowerment Scholarship Account” program that grants parents a choice over where Arizona's tax dollars are spent for their kids' schooling.Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute, touts the reform as the gold standard model for the rest of the country, and other states are sure to follow suit once politicians realize how overwhelmingly popular school choice has become with parents.The popularity of school choice has been steadily rising but reached a tipping point in Arizona during COVID-19, when parents could see firsthand the extent of indoctrination taking place in virtual public school classrooms. In the end, it would seem that teacher's unions' insistence on extended remote learning has backfired dramatically, as the parent-led revolution in taking back control over education continues.Beienburg joins the show this Sunday to discuss the Goldwater Institute's role in crafting the original ESA legislation that empowered particularly disadvantaged students to opt out of failing public schools. He will also answer some of the many objections to school choice trotted out by the left to insulate the government from competition in the arena of education.I previously covered many of these myths on my show with Corey DeAngelis, and it's thrilling to see the ideas from the book translated into concrete policy in Arizona:

On this week's Education Gadfly Show podcast, Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute, joins Mike Petrilli to discuss a new Arizona law that allows any school-aged child to use a taxpayer-funded savings account to pay for private school—or any other educational expense. Then, on the Research Minute, Amber Northern reviews a study on whether a content-rich literacy intervention improves third graders' reading comprehension.  Recommended Content: Matt Beienburg, “In Arizona's Historic ESA Expansion, a Blueprint for Educational Freedom,” The 74 (July 2022). James S.

In this episode of Take Back Our Schools, Andrew speaks with Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute.

Goldwater Institutes Matt Beienburg discuss curriculum transparency. #1321 Friday, March 11, 2022   0:00-14:45 Jeff recaps a few of the weeks biggest news items.   14:46-43:22 Pastor Daniel Williamson, Candidate for Flagstaff Mayor.    43:23-58:09 Jeff and Olivia pick this weeks $40 Nimarco's Pizza winner.    58:10-74:14 Goldwater Institute Director of Education Policy Matt Beienburg joins us to discuss curriculum transparency and a bill at the legislature that would require teachers to post the curriculum online. 

Parents demand accountability for the curriculum that is taught to their kids when it comes to CRT and many other issues.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed disturbing trends about how critical race theory and LGBT indoctrination were being promulgated in schools. Parents, infuriated that their kids are being brainwashed, went to school board meetings to express their discontent. Now, some educators are attempting to hide their lesson plans from parents who would take issue with them.But there's pushback. Many state legislators across the country are introducing bills that would require educators to be transparent about what they're teaching kids. The director of education policy at the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute, Matt Beienburg, says these bills are simply about empowering parents with respect to their children's education."It's bringing transparency. These are our public schools, and it's to say, 'We don't think that the content that's being taught to K-12 students should be materials that are taught in secret,'" he explains.Beienburg joins the show to discuss efforts by state governments to promote curriculum transparency.We also cover these stories:Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, says a federal filing by Special Counsel John Durham proves former President Donald Trump was illegally spied on at Trump Tower and at the White House.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is walking back his earlier claim that Russia would attack his country on Feb. 16.Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser says the city soon will lift its COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Curriculum transparency in schools is something that should always be in place. the push back from educators is something that must be addressed.
