I've been wondering if Brutal South might be interested in checking into how many of our SC legislators send their children to public schools vs. private. I know for sure that Wes Newton sends his kids to private schools. Now why would he do that if he felt public schools were decent? And why might he think they're not decent? Just asking.
was part of a reporting team that surveyed lawmakers about this in 2019, and the answer at the time fewer than 25% of lawmakers had children in public schools.
Thank you. It would seem that the article could re-run as-is... Can you clarify if it is 25% of all legislators or of those with children? I suspect many no longer have children of school age. Thanks.
I enjoy (cringe at) your newsletters. Podcasts are next....
Paul this was awesome, I subbed. I stumbled on it because I wrote something similar about Southern public education at large. You may find it interesting (it is my latest post.) Best wishes - Matt
