Corey DeAngelis, a school choice advocate, found himself at the center of a controversy when it was revealed that he had previously appeared in gay porn under the stage name Seth Rose. DeAngelis, who has been critical of progressive ideologies in schools and has championed vouchers as an alternative, faced backlash and was removed from the American Federation for Children website.
The Arkansas LEARNS Act, a universal school voucher system that DeAngelis supported, was sponsored by Rep. Keith Brooks, who has remained silent on the issue since the news broke. Governor Sarah Sanders, who has also supported DeAngelis and the school choice movement, did not respond to requests for comment. Sanders, who sends her children to a private school with strict religious beliefs, has been criticized for her association with DeAngelis.
DeAngelis’ hypocrisy has called into question the credibility of the school choice movement in Arkansas, with some questioning the true motivations behind the push for vouchers. The recent scandal involving DeAngelis is part of a larger trend of Republican figures facing controversy, including accusations against Rep. Matt Gaetz and revelations about North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson.
Educator and writer Peter Greene has highlighted the karma that DeAngelis may be facing, as he used divisive tactics to further his agenda. The outcome of this scandal remains uncertain, but it has raised important questions about the authenticity and ethics of those involved in promoting school choice initiatives.
