History
Шаблон:Education in the U.S. AFGG, under its original name the Alliance for School Choice, was launched on May 17, 2004, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. The formation of the Alliance for School Choice represented the merger of three organizations: the American Education Reform Council, Children First America, and the American Education Reform Foundation.
Clint Bolick was appointed as the Alliance's first president in 2004. Bolick resigned his position at the Alliance in 2007 to take a new post at the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute. Charles R. Hokanson Jr., a former official at the U.S. Department of Education, served as the organization's president from 2007-2008.[3][4][5]
