To tell the story of the modern school choice movement in America,
Wayne D. Lewis elucidates what can be learned from the campaign by
North Carolina parent choice advocates for the creation and
expansion of school choice policies in the state. The exploration
of the politics, ideology, and interests surrounding parent choice
in this conversation includes but also stretches beyond the
frequently discussed choice policies of charter schools, school
vouchers, and tuition tax credits. In this work, Lewis makes the
argument that parents' push for these policies is closely akin to
parents' rejection of busing and redistricting policies in
Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Raleigh-Durham, their advocacy for the
state-support of home-schooling options across the state, and their
campaign for the expansion of magnet and intradistrict choice
options. Central to parents' advocacy for all of these policies,
argues Lewis, lies a more foundational desire to reconceputalize
public schooling such that parents have much more individual
control over how public funding is used for the education of their
children.
