40 years ago the Reagan Administration
released a groundbreaking report called “A Nation At Risk: The Imperative For Educational Reform.” It concluded, “If an
unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an
act of war.” This report from 1983 set the Reagan Administration on the path of promoting school choice for all students in America.
In the 40 years since, we’ve lost an entire generation of students. We cannot
afford to lose another generation while education freedom is in limbo. Will you take a stand today for school
choice?
For over 12 years (beginning in 2011) the Republican Party of Texas has been working to bring educational freedom to Texas. In 2012,
Republican primary voters passed a primary ballot proposition supporting school choice with 84.3%. In 2022, Republican support for school choice
increased to 87.8%.
Statewide, educational freedom stands out as an issue
that unifies Texans across party lines, racial demographics, and income. Yet, educational freedom is still not a reality in Texas.
In the 40 years since “A Nation At Risk” we’ve thrown
countless academic “expert” plans, billions of taxpayer dollars, and the proverbial kitchen sink at our education system in a vain effort
to improve it. In the time since, little has improved while the left has turned our public schools into Marxist indoctrination centers. Now is the
time for change.
It’s time we focus on the greatest civil
rights issue of our time: Do parents get to decide what is best for their children’s education, or does a bureaucrat hold that right? Let us know what you think!
We need your help now. Together, we have safeguarded the right to life of every unborn child in Texas
and protected our children from harmful practices such as gender modification. We have also taken action to shield them from detrimental ideologies in
classrooms and obscene books in school libraries. But more needs to be done.
