The Importance of Choice

David L. Brennan, White Hat's founder, is a dedicated proponent of school choice and was instrumental in the development of school vouchers in the state of Ohio. Mr. Brennan often speaks concerning the importance of school choice in America.

In his recent book, Victory for Kids: The Cleveland School Voucher Case, Mr. Brennan recounts his 10-year fight up to the U.S. Supreme Court - first to create, and then maintain, Ohio's voucher scholarship program. To purchase a copy of Mr. Brennan's recent book, click here.
