According to this opinion piece, after a few upstarts vied for the title, Florida still retains the school choice crown.

I’ve blogged about Parental Rights and School Choice initiatives previously. In particular, Christian parents are fed up with what they’ve learned about their local schools. The Pandemic, school closings, remote learning, and the Gender Ideology taught and deceptively defended there, have brought School Choice initiatives back to the forefront of parental concerns.

The opinion piece is about how Florida has passed a new law that expands school choice options for all students in the state. The law allows families to use education savings accounts (ESA) to pay for various educational expenses, such as tuition at a private school, tutoring, or curriculum. The law also removes income restrictions and enrollment caps for the ESA program. The article praises Florida for being a leader in school choice and says that the law will give more freedom and opportunities to families and students.

Florida is the sixth state to pass universal school choice legislation, following West Virginia, Arizona, Iowa, Utah, and Arkansas.

This could be the biggest year for school choice in American history.

32 states and counting: Why parents bills of rights are sweeping US

An article in the Christian Science Monitor is about the rise of parental bills of rights in the U.S., which are laws that aim to give parents more control over their children’s education.

32 states and counting have introduced legislation. The U.S. House has also gotten into the act.

The CSM article explains that different states have different versions of these bills, some more broad and some more specific. The article also explores the reasons behind this trend, such as the pandemic, the vaccine mandates, and the culture wars. [Which is to say, most parents are strongly against educators hiding & facilitating the gender transitioning of their children as well as teaching them age inappropriate sex related subjects.]

Is The Western World Full of Fascists?

Antifa Black Pampers

An animating belief among many Gender Ideologues is that the Western world is full of fascists. And it is their job to shout, cancel, or bully those so-called fascists out of society. Especially, Christo-Fascists!

Protect our Kids, they say. Keep Christo-Fascists parents away from our kids!

This is a decades long standard trope from the Far-Left of the political spectrum. Don’t believe it. And don’t be intimidated, parents. Stand up for YOUR children. And your rights as parents.
