THE EDUCATION AVENGERS is about more than remarkable people. It is about the ideas they embody, the conditions they create for human flourishing, and the extraordinary things that happen when ordinary people decide children are worth the fight.
@JeanneAllen introduces readers to a new class of heroes who saw children being failed and decided they could not look away.
They did not set out to become heroes. Most began with a child, a question, or a concern they could no longer ignore. They refused to accept systems that asked children to wait—for relevance, dignity, happiness, or belonging.
These are stories of resistance and resurrection. Stories of people from vastly different beginnings whose lives point to the same truth: no matter the circumstances, there is something in each of us that is called to fight.
Through twelve extraordinary lives, Allen explores what creates human flourishing, why some communities thrive while others struggle, and what becomes possible when purpose, dignity, courage, freedom, joy, hope, and opportunity take root. This is a book about people—and the enduring ideas that shape lives, strengthen communities, and restore hope.
THE EDUCATION AVENGERS is available now from @PostHillPress.

To @alexanderrusso's question- because even if #edreform has endured opponents and political ignorance, it takes time, resources and a lot of fights to improve education, and waiting is something our nation's kids can ill afford.
Great question. EdChoice has seen 15 election cycles since we opened and two things remain true: there is always another election coming and we always have to fight hard for parents. Sometimes we are in super defense mode like we will be in TX and AZ and sometimes we are in attack mode. The fights remain the same only the states change.

Is there a secret to how advocates can build momentum to create change? @jraindc asked @JeanneAllen, the founder and CEO of @edreform, for her thoughts based on her over 30 years of activism.
Another "no-brainer" move for the win!
.@GovMLG opts in to the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, opening the door to education opportunity for New Mexico families.

Universal ESAs offer a direct challenge to a system that isn't meeting the needs of families.

When someone threatens to take away an educational opportunity that is working for their child, they will fight to keep it. @JeanneAllen @Forbes #Election2026

The Election Will End. The Education Revolution Won't.
The constituency for educational opportunity is far larger and more diverse than the conventional political debate suggests. It includes families of every race, income level, political affiliation, and educational background... More from @JeanneAllen in @Forbes ⤵️

Whichever party comes out on top tomorrow, expect some pundits to declare the education reform movement diminished. Not so fast, says @JeanneAllen. That misses 35 years of bipartisan history and the parents who drive it... ⤵️

North Star Academy (@uncommonschools) teachers and their students in Newark have been changing the early stage AI/edu debate for classrooms - not blindly running from its potential negatives, but understanding where, when, and how it can be harnessed in a positive way for learning. @The74 👇

In a new RHSU, @rickhess99 spoke with @JeanneAllen on her new book, The Education Avengers, which profiles "12 stories of ordinary people who did extraordinary things because they saw children were being failed and decided they could not look away."

Love this @rickhess99 interview of @JeanneAllen about her new book. "Start with the child in front of you. Ask what that child needs and what is getting in the way. Then find others who see what you see and begin making room for a better answer." @HowardLFuller @JoeNathan9249 rickhessoneducation.substack…

After decades of declining enrollment, school choice and renewed interest in classical education are creating opportunities for (Catholic school) expansion.

The most powerful constituency behind (education opportunity) isn’t sitting in Washington. It’s sitting around America’s dinner tables.

Should we be shocked that college students are portrayed as academic rebels for wanting to read the classics, or that these titles used to be common entries on middle and high school syllabi?
