The Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation for School Choice was founded upon the ideals and theories of Nobel Laureate economist Milton Friedman and economist Rose D. Friedman. They envisioned the concept in the 1950's, far before the need was perceived by most Americans, in an incredible example of forward-thinking intellectualism that has characterized the Friedmans' work through the years.
The Friedman Foundation strives to educate parents, public policy makers and organizations about the desperate need for a shift of power to the disenfranchised parents of America who have limited choices and voices in the education of their children. The Foundation serves as an indispensable resource for parents and community groups who want parental choice in education, and are ready to fight for it.
Educational choice means that parents are given back a basic American ideal of freedom to choose as it applies to the education of their children. Yes, given back, for America's system was not founded in public education.
