Take, for instance, this year's Apple Cup, where Washington State forced undefeated Washington to have to put together a game winning drive just to hold off the bowl-less Cougars. Or the Los Angeles Rams always seeming to give the Seattle Seahawks fits despite the Seahawks often sporting the superior roster. And the cliché certainly applied to Tuesday night's...

In 2019, private school choice programs in the U.S. served only 500,000 students, less than 1% of the nation’s school children. Today, 2...
