Arizona’s Governor Doug Ducey boasts that his state “is now the gold standard for educational freedom in America,” after the passage of a law that allows students to use public funds for tuition at any school of their choice.

The new law—the result of a campaign to “fund students, not schools”—has won applause from advocates of educational choice. Governor Ducey quoted Chris Rufo of the Manhattan Institute, who said that “universal school choice has long been the Holy Grail for conservative education reformers. Governor Ducey has achieved it.”
