Texas parents are voting with their feet—and their wallets—as over 100,000 students have already applied for the Lone Star State's groundbreaking school choice program in what Governor Greg Abbott calls a complete "gamechanger" for American education.
The explosive demand represents the largest school choice rollout in U.S. history, proving that when given the freedom to choose, parents will abandon the failing government school monopoly faster than you can say "critical race theory."
"This is the biggest and best rollout of school choice in the history of the United States of America," Abbott told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck. "And it's really a gamechanger for education in our state."
"What we want to see is competition in public education, private education—competition makes everything better," Abbott explained.
The governor's celebration comes as no surprise to parents who have watched their local schools transform into indoctrination centers pushing transgender ideology and anti-American propaganda instead of teaching kids how to read and do math.
Parents Fight Back Against Woke School Boards
This massive exodus from government schools sends a clear message to the education establishment: American families are done being held hostage by radical school boards and teachers' unions more interested in political activism than actual education.
Texas joins Florida and other red states leading the charge to give parents—not bureaucrats—control over their children's education. While blue states continue forcing kids into failing schools, conservative states are proving that competition and choice create excellence.
The program allows families to use taxpayer dollars to send their children to private schools, homeschool programs, or other educational alternatives that actually focus on academic achievement instead of woke indoctrination.
With President Trump's second-term education agenda emphasizing parental rights and school choice nationwide, Texas is showing the rest of America what's possible when we put families first and break up the government school monopoly once and for all.
How many more states will it take before the education establishment finally gets the message that parents—not politicians—should control their children's future?
