Closing Thoughts and Call to Action

Are America's schools becoming the next battleground for socialism? Lisa Boothe sits down with Defending Education founder and president Nicki Neily to examine the fallout from the 2026 midterm elections and what Democratic victories could mean for parental rights, school choice, and the future of American education.

Neily warns about the growing influence of Democratic Socialists of America in school boards, classrooms, and even early childhood education programs, including initiatives targeting children as young as two. They discuss allegations of political indoctrination, controversial gender policies, DEI programs, teachers unions, and efforts to reshape school curricula without parents' knowledge. Neily also explains why Republican candidates may have missed a major opportunity by failing to emphasize school choice during the midterms.

Plus, the conversation explores President Trump's federal school choice tax credit program, battles over Title IX and girls' sports, and how parents can challenge school policies through greater involvement, public records requests, and legal action.
