A House floor VOTE IS COMING on S.B 2 — the fake ‘School Choice’ bill that has already passed the Texas Senate. The House public education committee has already passed the Senate’s version of so-called School Choice, S.B. 2. From here, they will bring the bill before the entire House for a vote — and then it’s on to Abbott for a signature.
This is END GAME if we’re going to have any impact on stopping this bill!
All that stands between this nasty bill and Abbott’s desk is YOU! Send a pre-written email NOW to tell the House that Texas Homeschoolers want them to VOTE NO on S.B 2!
Don’t get us wrong: we love the idea of tens of thousands of kids getting out of the failed government school system, and DEFUNDING the debunked Prussian education system that’s turned millions of America’s young people into radicals who hate America, Christianity, the Founding Fathers and even their families — but this bill is NOT the solution.
Why? Because S.B. 2 throws open the door to state involvement, regulation and oversight of our homeschool families! Starting on day one, homeschoolers who take this money must have their curriculum approved by the Texas Comptroller’s office – only ordering from approved curriculum vendors. This is a level of oversight and control that homeschoolers in Texas have never had to submit to before!
Also, S.B. 2 requires mandatory testing for homeschoolers who participate. Of course, to oversee all of these homeschoolers, we’ll need new layers of bureaucracy to manage and regulate homeschoolers!
The opportunities for expansion of regulations onto ALL homeschoolers is enormous. This looks like a a chassis bill – something the legislature wants to get passed so they can add more regulations down the road.
Don’t let them DESTROY School Choice by passing a bill that will harm homeschooling in the future! Texans are removing their kids from government education and oversight for a reason! This bill just creates NEW OVERSIGHT and CONTROL of homeschooling!
Send this PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL to your House Representative, urging him to VOTE NO on S.B. 2! Once you’ve done that, take the next step and donate to this fight so we can mobilize more homeschoolers to BE HEARD in Austin!
