(The Center Square) -Nearly 93% of nearly 1.7 million schoolchildren in North Carolina are eligible for second-term Republican President Donald Trump’s signature K-12 initiative. Last summer on July Fourth, Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act inclusive of the federal school choice option. “This vote was about trusting parents and giving students more choices, because when our kids succeed, North Carolina succeeds." By most every measure, Democrats inclusive of Stein and predecessor Roy Cooper – now a U.S. Senate candidate – have opposed school choice. While charter schools are public schools in the state, they too are criticized and not wanted by the majority of Democrats.
