WASHINGTON—School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis, who President Trump has called “a FIGHTER for Parental Rights,” joined The Heritage Foundation as a research fellow within Heritage’s Center for Education Policy.  

A regular on Fox News and other media, DeAngelis will focus on school choice, cultural issues around race and gender, and opposition to teacher unions in his work at Heritage.  

DeAngelis is also a senior fellow at Americans for Fair Treatment, a visiting fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, president of the Educational Freedom Institute, a contributor at Real Truth Media, a senior fellow at Reason Foundation, an adjunct scholar at Cato Institute, a board member at Liberty Justice Center, a senior advisor at Accuracy in Media, and a senior fellow at American Culture Project.  
 
He is the national bestselling author of “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.” 

DeAngelis made the following statement: 

“It's a tremendous honor to become a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, recognized as the world's leading conservative think tank. I am proud to join this powerhouse and lock arms with an education team stacked with the best talent in the education freedom movement. Together, we'll advance policies that empower families and expand school choice across the nation." 

Jonathan Butcher, acting director of Heritage’s Center for Education Policy and Will Skillman senior research fellow in education policy, added the following: 

“Corey has produced high-quality research demonstrating the effectiveness of education choice and regularly exposes policymakers who choose private schools for their own families but deny such choices to others. Corey and the members of Heritage’s education policy staff have been working with the same goals in mind for years, and we are very pleased to add him to the team.”
