Moms for Liberty-Texas Endorses the House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 2: ESAs
Austin, Texas – Moms for Liberty-Texas Legislative Committee, dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating, and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government, has announced its support of the House Committee Substitute of Senate Bill 2 regarding Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
As a grassroots organization with a passionate and dedicated base of parents, Moms for Liberty-Texas has a unique ability to rally and amplify the voices of conservative voters across Texas. The organization's widespread influence and strong ties to local communities give it a crucial role in shaping education policy. With the backing of Moms for Liberty-Texas, this bill gains the momentum it needs to make real change for Texas families.
Tara Petsch and Christie Slape, Moms for Liberty-Texas Legislative Committee Co-Chairs stated, "We are proud to support the House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 2 as a step toward reclaiming our children's education. While there is still more work to be done, this bill is an important move toward ensuring parents have the power to make the best decisions for their children's future. We will continue to advocate for even more protections to ensure that every Texas child is educated in an environment that upholds our values."
Texas parents are fed up with the growing trend of woke indoctrination, political agendas, and the sexualization of their children in public schools. Despite their concerns, the education system continues to push these harmful ideologies while academic performance plummets. Last year, only 48% of Texas 3rd graders met grade-level standards in reading and only 42% were proficient in math, a clear indication that the current system is failing our children. Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are a powerful solution that puts parents back in control. By expanding parental rights, ESAs allow families to make the best educational choices for their children, free from the influence of bureaucrats and political activists.
This bill affirms the fundamental truth that parents—not government officials—are the primary caregivers and decision-makers when it comes to their children's education. It gives parents the freedom to select the educational path that best suits their child's needs, values, and aspirations. ESAs provide the flexibility for families to customize their child's education, ensuring it aligns with their deeply held beliefs. By supporting ESAs, Moms for Liberty-Texas is standing firm in the fight to restore parental authority and defend the right of every family to guide their child's education without interference from outside forces.
