Goldwater in the News
I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. -Thomas Jefferson
At the Goldwater Institute, educational freedom is paramount. The Center for Educational Opportunity advances innovative policy solutions to ensure all students in Arizona enjoy educational freedom and opportunity. We host conferences, testify at the Capitol, and work with legislative and community leaders to promote a truly competitive, market-based system. Broad areas of research include expansion of charter schools, education tax credits and vouchers, and the regulatory climate for alternative and independent schools.
