Texas has once again proven it’s a leader in the fight for freedom, especially when it comes to education. Gov. Greg Abbott has championed a revolutionary school choice initiative that lets parents choose what’s best for their children’s education. Finally, Texans have the power to break the chains of the public school monopoly. Why should parents settle for failing schools when they can choose brighter futures for their kids?
The $1 billion school voucher program is a landmark move. Instead of throwing money at institutions, it puts dollars directly in the hands of families. This isn’t simply a shift in policy; it’s a tectonic change. With $10,000 a year for private schooling and even more for children with disabilities, parents can finally seek out the most fitting educational environments. Who could possibly oppose such an empowering option? Well, look no further than the liberal elites who fear the loss of control over our children’s minds.
Yesterday I signed the LARGEST day-one school choice program in the history of America.
This injects competition into our education system that will benefit students and families for generations.
We will also increase funding for public schools to ensure they can compete. https://t.co/IkomwZeAca

More than 30 states are already waking up to the power of school choice. By infusing competition into the education system, kids will benefit as schools are forced to step up their game. Despite what left-wing critics say, this isn’t about destroying public education. It’s about strengthening it, providing better options, and raising the bar for everyone. When schools compete, our kids win. Liberals like to talk big about choice in everything but education—it’s beyond hypocritical.
Abbott isn’t just taking these steps for show. He’s committed to boosting public school funding, ensuring they have the resources to compete. The fearful doomsayers on the left who predict ruin should look at the real-world data. When parents are empowered, educational results improve. Yet, they cling to a broken status quo, preferring to shuffle children into failing institutions just to serve their ideological agenda. It’s time to wake up and reject their backwards thinking.
This initiative is a massive victory for families, liberty, and the American Dream. If this isn’t a reason to send a thank-you card to Governor Abbott, I don’t know what is. Why does the left fear choice? Because in a free market, their incompetence stands no chance. Are you ready to embrace real change, or will you cling to a system designed for mediocrity?
