For decades, proponents of school choice have argued that it is the key to improving education in America. They claim that school choice gives parents more options and that competition from private schools will force public schools to improve. But the evidence simply does not support these claims.

In The School Choice Hoax, authors John Oliver and Sarah Sunshine expose the real agenda behind school choice: to privatize public education and destroy the public school system. They show how school choice has been used to funnel taxpayer money into private schools, often at the expense of public schools. They also show how school choice has led to increased segregation and inequality in education.

The School Choice Hoax is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of public education in America. It is a powerful indictment of the school choice movement and a call to action to defend our public schools.
