The Commonwealth Matters

School choice (or educational freedom) is on the ballot this November in Kentucky. Kentuckians will vote for a constitutional amendment to allow more educational opportunities for parents, students, and teachers. Proponents of school choice say that this will empower parents with better opportunities that fit the needs of their children. To talk further about this important topic is Martin Cothran, co-founder of Memoria Press and Highlands Latin School in Louisville.

The Biden Administration is implementing a rule to require would require children who identify as LGBTQ+ be placed in foster homes that accept the child's "gender identity," which would include "gender affirming" medical procedures.

Kentucky's primary election season is over, and we can now reflect on the impact of the political action committees (PACs). Churchill Downs, Jefferson Co. Teacher's Association, and others poured in money to defeat conservative candidates. But a little PAC known as Conservatives for the Commonwealth had an outsized influence. In this week's edition of The Commonwealth Matters we are joined by two board members of Conservatives for the Commonwealth, David Dickerson and Gary Houchens, to discuss conservative principles and how they helped conservative candidates win.
