In this episode of The Mel K Show, I welcome a guest I have admired for years, someone who has been fearless in standing up to one of the most powerful and dangerous monopolies in America: the teachers’ unions. Corey DeAngelis, widely known as the School Choice Evangelist, has dedicated his career to exposing corruption in education and creating real solutions that empower parents and protect children.
I have been sounding the alarm for a long time about how unions and activist educators are undermining our country from within. From socialist conferences to political organizing, it is teachers who often fill the room. Too many of them reject the Constitution, despise the Bill of Rights, and openly identify as Marxists. They are not shy about their mission, and they have entrenched themselves inside a system that holds millions of children captive. Corey has never been afraid to call them out, and he has done the hard work of showing what can be done instead.
Corey explains how he came to this fight through his background in economics. He saw the school system for what it really is: the largest and most destructive monopoly in America. Unlike markets for food or clothing, where families can choose freely, government schools lock children into failing institutions with no accountability. This monopoly is not just inefficient. It is dangerous, because it shapes young, impressionable minds for thirteen years, seven hours a day, teaching them to rely on government and to accept control as normal.
That is why Corey is leading the charge for school choice. The principle is simple. The money should follow the child. If parents like their public school, they can stay. But if that school is failing or hostile to their values, the funding should go to a private school, a charter school, or even be used for homeschooling. It is about freedom, competition, and putting parents back in charge.
We talk about the impact this model could have across the country. For the first time, families could break free from the control of unions and bureaucrats who have placed politics above education. Children would be able to learn in environments that reflect their family’s values and focus on real achievement, not ideology.
Here is what you will learn in this episode:
-
Why the government school system is the largest monopoly in America
-
How teachers’ unions block reform and push destructive political agendas
-
The simple principle of school choice and how it empowers families
-
Why competition in education is essential for improving outcomes
-
How parents and citizens can get involved in supporting school choice initiatives
This conversation is about more than education policy. It is about the future of the country. If we allow the current system to continue unchecked, we will raise generations trained to despise freedom and embrace dependency. But if we fight for school choice and accountability, we can restore education as a tool for growth, empowerment, and truth.
Corey DeAngelis has been relentless in this mission, and his courage should inspire all of us. The time to stand up for our children is now.
