"There is no such thing as vouchers without government control. They just simply don't exist." Join host Robert Bortins as he sits down with KrisAnne Hall, constitutional attorney, former prosecutor, and founder of Liberty First Society. With her background in constitutional law and as a former homeschool parent, KrisAnne delivers a compelling legal and biblical argument against government-funded school choice programs. KrisAnne explains why the federal government has zero constitutional authority over education and reveals how states have traded their sovereignty for federal dollars. Drawing from nearly two decades of warnings, she exposes what's already happening in Florida and Texas: mandatory ethics policies forcing Christian schools to teach evolution, regulations prohibiting single-source curriculum (biblical truth), and requirements around gender identity and sexual orientation. She dismantles the illusion that vouchers "follow the student, not the school," explaining why this actually gives government authority to audit your personal finances and exercise fiduciary control over your children. Those tax dollars legally belong to government the moment they're collected—when you take Caesar's money for education, you're converting your home into government property and your private school into a public one.
