(01:26):
from the CNN town hall last night and the national
election and Kamala versus Donald. Let's stop with that for
just a moment. Let's talk about our ballots you have
here locally and Amendment eighty is on your Colorado ballot.
Have you voted on it? Do you know how you're
going to vote? Let me bring in Christy Burton Brown
on the hotline. She's gonna chat with this a little
(01:46):
bit about amendm at eighty. Christy Burton Brown, welcome back
to the show. Good Morning, Good mornings. Any thanks, let's
talk about amend at eighty. Sometimes I throw out these
numbers and being okay, which one was that they don't
remember the number, they remember the topic. Give us a
summation of it, and then give us your thoughts on it.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yes, Amendment eighty is from the most simple measures on
your ballot this year. It's the school choice measure. It
would take the right to school choice that we already
have in Colorado, parents' ability to choose the best school
for their kids it helps them attend there, and put
that in our state constitution so that it's not at
the mercy of politicians anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So we have the right already. People can just open
enroll and you can go to where you want. You
already have that, so this is just putting it in
the actual constitution, solidifying that even further. What's interesting, Christy
Burton Brown, is there seems to be some groups that
are opposed to this are actually running television ads saying
that parents having the right to choose your kids' education
(02:43):
is a bad thing. Have you seen those right?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I have seen those and it is. And here's what
I think people need to know that is actually the
National Teachers' Union coming in with millions of dollars of
out of state money that they've taken from teachers pay
and are up on tele vision lying to voters telling
them the Amendment eighty would take away funding for public schools.
And it's completely false. And it makes sense right that
(03:09):
the National Teachers Union, who doesn't understand Colorado, would come
in and lie to voters about it when our own
blue books, created here in Colorado by the state so
that they're nonpartisan, says that the fiscal impact of Amendment
eighty is zero dollars. You can't get less funding than
zero dollars, Jimmy. And yet the Teachers Union is up
on TV lying to voters about this.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's not a change in policy for the state of Colorado.
Is here? I guess since it's a right that already
exists in Colorado. This just puts it further in the constitution.
What's the Teachers Union so afraid of having this permanently
in our constitution? What are these national bureaucrats so fearful?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Love? Well, I think if you look back on what
they've been doing over the last few years in Colorado,
they've actually attacked the current school choice system we have.
This last year was specifically went after charter schools in
the legislative session tried to pass a bill that would
have shut down charters. The sponsor of the bill, who
is allied to the teachers Union in Colorado, specifically said
(04:10):
that if her bill passed, it would be the beginning
of the end of charter schools in Colorado. Colorado has
the second highest number of charter school students in the nation,
but the teachers Union doesn't like it because they think
that threatens the way they want to do business. And
so while they're saying on tv AH it is going
to take money from public schools, what the real truth is,
(04:30):
because that's a lie, is that they don't like any
choice for families. They don't like any competition. They want
this to stay in statute that they can work with
the legislature and take rights away from people. If we
put our rights to the Constitution, we take away their
ability to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Now, school districts do have the right to kind of
refuse the advent of a charter school. I know that
Heidigan all ran into that years ago in the Boulder
Valley School District, they didn't want a charter school competing
with their union shops. Does this change anything about the
local power to allow or disallow charter schools?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh? You know, I actually think it does. If we
put this in the in the state constitution, it actually
gives parents the ability if a district is wrongly denying
their application for a charter school and their earned choices
in the district. I believe parents could sue overwhap.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah. Again, it's befuddling to me. First of all, they're
making applies. As you said, the blue Book itself says
there's no physical impact. It doesn't change the budget of
Colorado at all. But they're out of that lying and
they're lying all because they want to take away the
right of parents to choose the best path forward for
their kids. And who knows their kids better. Some kids
(05:43):
are going to work better in a STEM environments science technology,
engineering math type thing. Some kids are going to work
better in a fine arts focused school. Some we're going
to be great in just a regular, old, run of
the mill public school. I mean, parents know who their
kids are, and these ads basically are saying, hey, vote
no on this because if you vote no, then that
makes sure that the parents don't get to choose what's
best for their kids.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Right, You're still right, joy In, And I find it
very baffling that they want to stay and the union
updibated them twice. So this is what they're saying to
voters is we know we have school choice right now
in Colorado. It's a good system right now, it works well.
We don't need to put it in the constitution. That's
an extremely baffling argument, because if you like a right
(06:25):
that you have in Colorado, you like the current law.
The one and only way to take it out of
the hands of politicians so we're not at the merphy
of elected officials in Denver, is to put it in
the constitution. That puts it fully in the hands of
the people of Colorado. We get to defend our rights,
we get to keep school choice. The union's like, no,
leave it in the law. We don't need to go
(06:46):
that far, wink wink. While their entire agenda is to
destroy the school choice system we have in Colorado. And
I just think voters need to know it is the
National Teachers' Union dumping money into Colorado to lie to you,
carry you away for protecting your rights.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
On Amendment eighty, I'm guessing a lot of these same
people it's a different, different amendment on your ballot. These
are the same people that say, oh, we can't just
leave abortion rights in the law because they have all
they want right now, you've got to put that in
the constitution. But hey, parents' rights to actually choose for
your kids where they go to school, now that we
can't give you that much right, We can't constitutionalize that.
(07:22):
So a little bit of a double standard there. Amendment
eighty I was affirmed yes on. I hope everybody else
will be on it. And again, how much money exactly
have they put in? Again, Teachers out there should be
aware of this that as you contribute to your union,
which in Colorado you do not have to, it's not
forced to that you do that those ads that you
see on television, millions and millions of dollars you're paying
(07:46):
for those teachers. And they took money that took food
off your table so that they can run these ads.
How many millions of dollars are they spending.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The National Disasunion so far has spent four million dollars
on in state organizations inc. In the Colorado Teacher Union
has spent one million, so five million at this point,
projected to rise to eight to ten million by the
end of the five million by the end of the campaign.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So, any of you teachers out there, I hate to
say it, heading to class today and you're like, man,
times are tough, this economy, inflation, My paycheck doesn't go
as far as it used to. Well, part of the
meatballs in this spaghetti that's not on your table at
dinner tonight is on the television. And you let your
teachers union do that. You're letting them spend your money.
Just a little word to teachers out there that they
(08:30):
don't have to participate in that in Colorado, even though
they feel like they do. They don't have to. It's
a right to work state, right it is. Christy Burton Brown,
thanks for the information. As always, folks want to, I
guess learn more. I'm sure you've written about it. I'm
sure obviously I can go back and listen to this
radio interview again. Where do they find you and the
great work you're involved with.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Against Colorado dot or you can find everything we do
and tell your friends and neighbors and end. Then eighty
protects your rights and it's the best one on your dollar.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Issues Advance Colorado dot org. Christy Burton Brown, thank you
very much for hopping on the program and again Amendment eighty.
And it's a right you already have as a parent.
And all this does is put that in the constitution
so that it can't be denked with by some politician
as some legislative session that's on the drunken bender down there.
One day. I'll be back in a moment. Laky six
