My Friend Threatened With Jail Time Sees What’s At Stake With The School Choice Movement

My friend Zan Tyler said to the Lord, “I told you this was not a good idea,” back in 1984 when she had to go to court to homeschool her son. A family friend who was an attorney threatened to put her in jail if she continued on her path to homeschool! If there is anyone who knows what’s at stake as we usher in school choice programs, it’s my friend Zan.

She stayed for Happy Hour and shared an inside look at their 45 years of marriage. It’s such a sweet story!
