Amid a surge in homeschooling, religious schools and myriad public and private alternatives to traditional brick-and-mortar government schools, Alaska families are engaged in a fundamental shift in education. To help equip parents and empower this growing cultural revolution, Americans For Prosperity-Alaska will host a July 8 “Family Fun Fair” at The Lakefront in Anchorage (4800 Spenard Rd.), from 5-8 p.m.

Corey DeAngelis, one of the nation’s most prominent school choice advocates, will be on hand. He unapologetically believes that parents and political leaders must lean into the educational culture war. A senior fellow at the American Federation for Children and a visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, DeAngelis has been labeled the “school choice evangelist.” He is a regular on Fox News and frequently appears in The Wall Street Journal.

The event will include popcorn, ice cream sundaes and a free copy of DeAngelis’ book, “The Parent Revolution,” for the first 100 attendees. Drop in anytime, between 5-8 p.m. to enjoy food and activities, including face-painting for kids.

“The tide is turning in education, and we need a parent revolution now more than ever,” a notice for the event states. “Corey DeAngelis is the leading voice in the movement for school choice. Known for his fearless advocacy, Corey challenges the status quo of government-run education systems. His groundbreaking book, ‘The Parent Revolution,’ offers a compelling narrative on why parents deserve more say in their children’s education.”

Described as “public enemy #1 of the teachers’ unions,” DeAngelis has become a beacon of hope for families across America. He rallies support and ignites conversations about the need for educational reform. His message is clear: it’s time to empower parents and students to break free from outdated and poorly performing educational paradigms.

The upcoming event is also a chance to connect with like-minded families who care about educational options like homeschooling, micro-schools, and learning pods. Parents, educators and community leaders are all invited to help propel the conversation forward in order to ensure every child has access to a quality education tailored to their needs.
