Taking a Stance Against the Status Quo!

Jennifer Friedrich, running for the 157th House District in Missouri, had the courage to step up to the plate and challenge the status quo. With school choice being such a heavily debated topic, I find it endearing she feels she can stand up. The teacher unions and other interest groups can be incredibly intimidating...but she is taking that chance.
Now, to be honest, I don't know much about her other views, but I will commend her stance on educational options.

Taken from Sunday's SouthEast Missourian:
"Education should be a free choice including home schooling. This is another example of taxation without representation. Centralized control has given us an educational system that ranks below most western and many third world countries. The choice belongs to the family and the local community, not a big brother nanny state. Vouchers or other systems should be put in place to help home-schoolers, as they consistently rank highest in quality and results."
