Frida Ghitis: Education has been a winning issue for progressives for most of modern U.S. history.

She says the tide has shifted in recent years , but GOP candidates seem to have forgotten about the issue.

Ghitis says Republicans have refrained from discussing school choice and educational issues.

She writes: GOP candidates have failed to spotlight education reformers' radical policies.

Ghits: The antidote is to give parents the right to send kids to better schools.

This lets Democrats focus on issues such as abortion and gun control, where they enjoy more public support. As we approach November , both parties will continue arguing about immigration, the economy, and foreign policy. Those issues are vital, but so is education, which helps shape our national future. The GOP needs to bring education to the forefront of the campaignânot only for its electoral prospects but also for the countless children who could benefit from school choice.
