educational freedom
Learning without constraints
Educational freedom is the principle that families should direct their children's learning without excessive government control.
It encompasses school choice, homeschooling rights, and curriculum decisions: The state's educational freedom laws let parents use vouchers for private schools.
Advocates frame it as parental rights; critics worry it undermines public education standards.
