Discussion Questions:
1. What is "school choice" and how is this term currently misunderstood according to Aby Rinella and Yvette Hampton?
2. Discuss the concept of "linguistic theft" as it pertains to the term "school choice." How does its perceived meaning differ from its actual implementation?
3. Aby Rinella emphasizes the independence of homeschooling from government funding. Why does she believe government funding could compromise the autonomy of homeschooling?
4. Explore the relationship between government funding and educational freedom. Why might accepting government funds potentially reduce educational choice, according to the discussion?
5. Discuss the potential impacts of government-controlled funding on private and homeschool education as outlined by UNESCO. What are the long-term implications for parental control and educational freedom and quality?
6. The podcast mentions a motivation behind some proponents of school choice being financial benefits. How could this influence the integrity of the movement?
7. Aby and Yvette are cautious about the divisiveness of the school choice issue among Christians. Discuss the importance of unity within the church when tackling controversial topics.
8. Review and discuss the various terms associated with school choice funding, such as ESAs, tax credits, and vouchers. How do these mechanisms work, and what are their implications for educational freedom?
9. Based on the discussion, how do you think parents can discern and navigate the challenges posed by the "school choice" movement while maintaining educational autonomy?
10. Reflect on the suggestion by Yvette and Aby that the push for school choice since 2020 may have broader agendas. Discuss how societal events influence educational policy and parental choices.

"As Jesus explained, you're either with me or you're against me. Well, apply that to what the UN is doing in the education realm. You'll very quickly realize they are not with Christ, even though they're very open about the fact that they want to inject spirituality, education into everything." ~ Alex Newman
