Our latest guest on the Porcupine Report, Jody Underwood, is an advocate for education freedom and founder of Ed Opt. She shares her journey within the Free State movement and her experience serving on the Croydon School Board. She explains the variety of educational options available in New Hampshire, including homeschooling, learning centers, charter schools, private schools, and the Education Freedom Accounts (EFAs) program. Jody and Eric discuss systemic issues in public schooling, such as its monopoly structure, funding mechanisms, and the lack of academic accountability.

Jody emphasizes her mission to educate parents about alternatives and support the creation of more education options, including through expos and AI-driven consultation tools. The conversation concludes with a call for engagement in upcoming liberty events and continued activism in education choice.
