Aaron Churchill and Rabbi Yitz Frank join CCV's Ohio Christian Education Network Executive Director Troy McIntosh and podcast hosts CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews to unpack why these common anti-school choice arguments are based on cherry-picked data or fail to consider the most important factor in school choice–parental satisfaction.

Listen in to understand how transgender activists co-opted feminist ideology and why Joy has hope this aggressive movement could collapse.
