Friend,

It’s that time of year again — time to celebrate National School Choice Week.

Never has NSCW, and the educational freedom it celebrates, been more important to the lives of children and families.

In the face of nearly two years of school closures, misguided COVID policies, and badly mangled virtual learning, parents know all too well that public school districts freely ignore their voices. 

Fortunately, parents across the nation are a force to be reckoned with, and they refuse to be ignored, whether the concerns they’re bringing to school board meetings and in parent groups have to do with closures or the radical content that now passes for lessons in too many districts.

We send our children to school to prepare them for life, success, and citizenship — not to be turned against their own country through critical race theory-inspired curricula or against their families through gender ideology. 

Our children are not pawns in the left’s ideological games.

That’s why I’m joining Independent Women’s Voice in protecting school choice and putting kids first. I invite you to do the same.

Nothing could be a bigger boon to the courageous parents standing up for their children’s educations than broad-based school choice programs that will give them the leverage they need to make sure school districts listen.

It’s time to put parents in the drivers’ seats of their children’s education.

Parental rights are non-negotiable.

That’s why this National School Choice Week is more important than ever. Families, not government bureaucrats or radical activists, should decide what and how their children learn.

This NSCW, let’s celebrate the many school choice options that already exist, but also vow not to stop until every family has the option to choose the best possible education for its children. 

Share your story about school choice and why it matters to your family.

Thank you,

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05)
