Freedom is not self-sustaining. It needs people that believe it’s worth sustaining. - @AndrewFLang
One of the things that the legislature really needs to do, in every state, is to expand educational options. And give people that right back of being responsible for the education of their own children. - @TimothySandefur

“You know what else is Bible infused? English.”
In this clip, education expert Robert Pondiscio explains why Bluebonnet Learning’s biblical references matter.

THIS is why education freedom matters!
Oak Creek Academy was founded by a former public school teacher, @DrTracyHanson1 who was determined to serve children with special needs who were struggling in public schools.
For only $11,000 in tuition, the school serves students with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, anxiety, and other challenges.
18% of Texas Education Freedom Account recipients are students with special needs.
These children deserve more than a one-size-fits-all system. They deserve a school where they can THRIVE!

Who holds colleges accountable?
Accreditors set the standards colleges must meet.
Now, Houston Christian University and 4 others are helping build an alternative accreditation that puts student learning, academic rigor, and institutional freedom at the forefront.

The France riots are not spontaneous.
On @NTDNews, Ammon Blair breaks down the "red-green alliance": NGOs, media groups and radical organizations using diaspora communities to pressure European politicians.
President Trump came to San Antonio to make the case that America First policies are strengthening Texas – and the nation.
In the Lone Star State, the words “Remember the Alamo” still speak to what it takes for a free people to flourish. And “America First” is a similar rallying cry – and commitment – for an entire nation.
