Listen Later

In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank is joined by Tera Myers, a passionate advocate for school choice and the mother of a son with Down Syndrome. Tera shares her inspiring journey of navigating the education system to ensure her son, Samuel, received the best possible education. Despite early challenges, Tera became a powerful voice for students with special needs, successfully advocating for school choice legislation in Ohio.

Her efforts culminated in an invitation to the White House, but Samuel's humble work ethic nearly prevented the trip. Through Tera’s story, we explore the importance of parental advocacy, the impact of school choice, and the determination to ensure that all children, regardless of their abilities, have access to the education they deserve. Tera’s unwavering dedication to her son and countless other children highlights the power of a parent’s love and the far-reaching effects of standing up for educational freedom.
