         <Name>Restoring American Exceptionalism Through School Choice -- Americans for Prosperity Foundation</Name>
         <Summary>Hugh Hewitt explains how "The prisoners are children, and their parents have no choice,"  when school choice is denied in some districts.</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;div&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;By John Gaudio,&lt;/p&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;Last night, Americans for Prosperity, 710 KNUS, 1460AM KZNT, and others sponsored the event &amp;quot;Restoring American Exceptionalism.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;In Hugh Hewitt's introductory remarks he describes school choice, failed school districts, teachers' unions, and how the status quo amounts to a prison system in some districts. &lt;/p&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The prisoners are children, and their parents have no choice.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Hugh is a product of &amp;quot;the original school choice system,&amp;quot; the parochial school system. Contrary to the beliefs of many, School choice does not harm the public school system. &amp;nbsp;School choice provides the competition that forces public schools to be better.&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;/div&gt; 
  &lt;div&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;Hugh suggests you &amp;quot;Go and buy the book 'Work Hard, Be Nice, by Jay Mathews,&amp;quot; the story of KIP, Knowledge is Power. &amp;nbsp;KIP broke all the rules, and it has blossomed. &amp;nbsp;It is a great example of children succeeding under the most difficult of circumstances, when they, and their parents, are allowed to choose. &amp;nbsp;He also suggests visiting GreatHeartsAZ.com, for another excellent example of success through school choice.&lt;/p&gt; 
    &lt;p&gt;Hugh was joined by DIck Morris, Bob Schaffer, Dan Gerkin, and Jeff Crank for nearly two hours on school choice and American Exceptionalism. &amp;nbsp;Special thanks to Jeff Crank, who introduces Hugh Hewitt in the video, and to Americans for Prosperity, 710 KNUS, and 1460AM KZNT, for bringing this all together.&lt;/p&gt;
