Let’s Start With Some Good News

We all need a little these days. So here’s a new TPPF video about the brothers behind Couch Potatoes, a furniture business that is making medical-grade PPE (personal protection equipment) for health care workers.

Opening Texas

What to Know: Gov. Abbott has announced a phased-in reopening of Texas businesses, starting on Friday.

The TPPF Take: Texans want to get back to work—and to living.

“Today marks a solid step forward in getting Texans back to work and starting the safe and responsible process of getting our economy moving again,” said TPPF’s Kevin Roberts. “The Governor has given the state a strong signal that our economic prosperity is not just as important as our health but critical for our health. Decisions on opening Texas will be made based on the best possible data, which so far has us moving in the right direction.”

They’ve Never Met Homeschoolers

What to Know: Harvard’s attack on homeschooling continues, with the school following its magazine’s call for a presumptive ban on the practice (labeling homeschoolers dangerous) with a conference in June to talk about ways to “reform”—meaning restrict—it.

The TPPF Take: Clearly, those organizing the conference have never met actual people who were homeschooled—such as TPPF’s Erin Davis Valdez.

“In 1984, my parents decided to home-school me,” she explains. “I was 5 years old, and we lived in a trailer park in rural Central Florida. On paper, elites would have laughed at the idea that a poor family in a trailer park in the 1980s could raise four strong, successful, independent, and well-educated women, without the aid of the state. But that’s what happened.”
