Column from Chris Freind:
Participants:
- Reverend Joe Watkins, former Lt. Gov. candidate, MSNBC commentator and Executive Director of the Students First organization.
- Dom Giordano, talk-show host extraordinaire on 1210 WPHT, the regions largest talk-radio station. Giordano was slated to be the moderator, but sat with Watkins so the discussion wouldnt be lopsided.
- State Representative Curt Schroder, a proponent of statewide school choice. Schroder was a House member in the mid-90s when a comprehensive school choice bill barely missed passage;
- Chris Freind, author of numerous columns and participant in several television segments advocating school choice, including why SB 1 is flawed legislation that will most likely fail if it is not amended in the House to expand choice. I was also Executive Director of the REACH Alliance, the preeminent statewide school choice organization, during the school choice battles in the 90s.
I've seen other reports with some of this, plus added info from our own Freepers. We need full choice access as soon as practicable. To do that it looks like we need to revise the PA Constitution. How do we accomplish that?

To do that it looks like we need to revise the PA Constitution. Even the critics of SB1 don't think it school choice will be unconstitutional as per the state constitution providing the money goes to the parents first and comes from the general fund.
