The Clay Edwards Show

CALL OF THE DAY: NOBODY WANTS SCHOOL CHOICE!!

In this fiery episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives deep into the controversial topic of school choice in Mississippi. Clay argues passionately against public-to-public transfers, warning that it could spread cultural and disciplinary issues from underperforming urban districts like Jackson into thriving suburban schools in areas like Rankin and Madison Counties. He shares personal experiences from growing up in South Jackson and calls out politicians, conservative elites, and think tanks for pushing an agenda that prioritizes charter schools and private interests over local communities. Listeners chime in with their takes, debating the potential for athletic recruiting abuses, unintended consequences like increased violence or teen pregnancies, and why fixing failing districts should come first. Even if it means challenging figures like Donald Trump, Clay stands firm: school choice isn't right for Central Mississippi. Tune in for unfiltered talk on fighting for better education without compromising safety and quality.
