ing, the whole thing—I'm just going to boil it into—and I could do this because I'm a trained cartoonist. Don't try this at home. You won't do it right. But I'm a professional. I can take complicated situations and boil them into their simplest form. What we learned primarily—we learned a lot, but there's one thing that captures all the rest. What we learned is that President Trump couldn't even…

One of the reasons might be they don't want the wokeness indoctrination. So we just have two reasons instead of one. The other reason is just better schools.
But it's great that Arizona is going to now be the premier national test laboratory for finding out what works and what doesn't. I don't know how long it will take. I mean it might be a five-year situation, so it's not like we're going to wait for the results of the test. But I do like it. I do like it when places are acting differently and we can just measure it and we'll find out. I'm open to it. I'm open to this being actually—I'm open to this being a solution to systemic racism. Because no matter how true—and I think a lot of it's true—the legacy of slavery rippling through to the present, no matter what you want to argue about the details of where you see it and where you don't and whose fault it is and you can argue that all day long, but here's one thing I don't think anybody would argue. If every kid had exactly the same educational options with no crime and they can make it to school and they've got enough support to do their homework and stuff, if everybody had that in a generation or so you'd stop talking about systemic racism, right? It wouldn't be one generation but you should at least get a head start on it.
So to me the more things you can experiment with and the more improvement and the faster you can get it in the educational field, especially to the low-income people, that's the biggest lever for everything. Like every lever of civilization comes from getting this stuff right. So if you're not planning a generation ahead—and this is good planning and maybe it's accidental—but knowing which works, the public method or the more flexible school choice method, we'll actually know which one of those is better. Not only that, but within the school choice field there'll be lots of competition within that and then we'll know which of those is better.
This is amazing. We've finally done—or we're on the cusp, or at least let's say we're setting the field for the biggest golden age improvement of all time. How many of you are parents who have kids in school? What, do you agree that the thing we call school is completely broken? I mean it just destroys the parents' life at the same time a

s the kids'. There's nothing about it that's done right. I mean in fact every part of school would be different if you started today and built it from scratch. It'd all be different. It's just bullying and you have low self-esteem and it's just a horror fest for most kids. When I see kids go to school I feel sorry for them and not in a way that I did when I was going to school. I never felt sorry…
