THE EDUCATION AVENGERS! What an incredible first two weeks! Humbled by the coverage and support—and especially grateful to @Forbes for the launch celebration and Post Hill Press for bringing the book to life.

Gratitude for another super review from @EducationNext @MQ_McShane for my book, #TheEducationAvengers, though I am surprised that you didn’t pick up on the Screwtape Letters commentary!

Q- Since when did the unions get a moral compass?
A- Since tech proved it could do some jobs better.

Oh yeah. This is what it's all about. Sorry, Mr. Election. This is where our attention should be focussed.
Meet the real-life “Education Avengers”: school founders who turned grit, a tool belt, and even a 65-foot sailboat into second chances for kids the system wrote off, with stories of a fourth-grade welder, a student now machining parts for SpaceX rockets, and the one ingredient kids who’ve lost it.

It has been so frustrating for me to hear pundits & political analysts on both sides of the aisle, declaring the sharp decline in Hispanic support for GOP is due to immigration. It’s actually insulting. We are not obsessed with immigration, especially 2nd & 3rd generation.
It’s simple! Hispanics are largely working class people with larger than average families. It’s the economy, stupid!!!
Globalists, open border types & greedy self-serving Chamber of Commerce types who benefit from illegal cheap labor are deliberately lying to muddy the waters & reverse policies that keep blue collar wages high.
As for the excesses, yes, fix them! But also, a booming economy (no war), makes people very forgiving about other problems.

Hispanic voters are primarily driven by economic issues (45%) rather than immigration (15%).
That led to a big Latino swing toward Trump in 2024, and a swing back to Democrats in 2026.

And so it begins.
"Education is expected to fall farther down the list of priorities, behind big topics like Trump’s self-enrichment and federal immigration raids."

To @alexanderrusso's question- because even if #edreform has endured opponents and political ignorance, it takes time, resources and a lot of fights to improve education, and waiting is something our nation's kids can ill afford.
Great question. EdChoice has seen 15 election cycles since we opened and two things remain true: there is always another election coming and we always have to fight hard for parents. Sometimes we are in super defense mode like we will be in TX and AZ and sometimes we are in attack mode. The fights remain the same only the states change.

Yes but will the unions let them?
"If Democrats can look forward rather than just left or right, they have an opportunity to establish a new, more effective politics that’s more durable than a rejection of Donald Trump." — @ARotherham w/@rickhess99 on what the Blue Wave could mean for education. edweek.org/policy-politic…

The winners and losers of the 2026 midterm elections will spend plenty of time explaining what the results mean for the country. But anyone predicting that a change in political power will bring an end to education reform—or education opportunity and innovation, as I prefer to call it—has missed the last 35 years of American history.

Thank you, Patrick! 🙏
Love this @rickhess99 interview of @JeanneAllen about her new book. "Start with the child in front of you. Ask what that child needs and what is getting in the way. Then find others who see what you see and begin making room for a better answer." @HowardLFuller @JoeNathan9249 rickhessoneducation.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-he…

Whatever the outcome of the 2026 midterms, one thing is certain: the movement for education opportunity and innovation isn’t going away.
