In episode #1154 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives deep into the contentious debate over school choice in Mississippi. Despite widespread pushback from constituents, proponents continue to advocate for expanding options, including public-to-public transfers and funding for private or charter schools. Clay breaks down the polling tactics, public sentiment, and potential motivations behind the push, arguing it's more of an echo chamber issue than a grassroots demand. He shares listener texts, plays clips from interviews, and critiques selective editing by supporters, labeling the movement a "death cult" for ignoring majority opposition.
The episode also features a guest interview with a local entrepreneur discussing his journey in the trades, challenges in the industry, and tips for homeowners dealing with common issues like frozen pipes and outdated systems.
