. >> wilton freeman used to lament the public was not receptive to school choice, and why not? it seemed like such an obvious good. is your sense that the public is now more receptive to school choice? >> the support for the concept of education choice and freedom has continued to rise and grow. the most recent data i have seen on it at the beginning of this calendar year suggests that two thirds of the general population is supportive of the notion of empowering parents and families to make the right choice and find the right fit for the child. 75% of millennials support this notion. around 70h 60's to ethnic populations and racial populations. there is growing momentum. let's face it, the kids that are being most helped today and the programs that are most onesficant in states are that have high percentage of african-american and hispanic children taking advantage of them. gore is no where i where the opportunities have been unleashed that i don't hear from parents and teachers involved in that choice that this is a terrific thing and we need more of it, not less of it. you.r
