Every child in America should have the same opportunity to exercise education choice to chart their own path. Lindsey Burke and Angela Sailor write:
Tiffany Dunston is the epitome of an education opportunity success story.
She grew up in a poor neighborhood in Washington, D.C., and became motivated in her own educational journey after her cousin—who was going to be the first in the family to attend college—was fatally shot at the age of 17.
But after starting out in a public elementary school in Washington, D.C., Dunston had the chance to enroll in a charter school, and later received a scholarship through the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program to attend a private high school in the city, Archbishop Carroll High School.
