Welcome

We are dedicated to providing School Choice information to Minnesota parents so they can have the BEST educational outcomes for their children.

We believe that SCHOOL CHOICE is one of the most basic rights we have in this state. 

We believe the education dollars should follow the student, not fund a failing system.

We believe that Minnesota Parents have their child's best interest in mind. Not the Teachers Unions, or the State, which have failed students in our state for far too long. 

 

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Expands Educational Opportunities for American Families

 

DEFENDING PARENTAL RIGHTS AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order expanding educational freedom and opportunity for families. It recognizes that parents, not the government, play a fundamental role in choosing and directing the upbringing and education of their children.

  • It directs the Department of Education to issue guidance on how the States can use federal funding formulas to support their K-12 scholarship programs.
  • It directs the Secretary of Education to prioritize school choice programs in the Department’s discretionary grant programs.
  • The Order requires the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on how states receiving block grants for children and families can use those funds to support educational alternatives, including private and faith-based options.
  • It directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to the President for how military families can use Department of Defense funds to send their children to the school of their choice.
  • The Order also directs the Secretary of the Interior to submit a plan to the President for how families with students attending Bureau of Indian Education schools can use federal funds to send their children to the school of their choice.

EMPOWERING PARENTS AND STUDENTS THROUGH SCHOOL CHOICE: Every child deserves the best education available, regardless of their zip code. However, for generations, our government-assigned education system has failed millions of parents, students, and teachers. This Executive Order begins to rectify that wrong by opening up opportunities for students to attend the school that best fits their needs.

  • According to the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), 70% of 8th graders were below proficient in reading and 72% were below proficient in math. 40% of 4th graders did not even meet the basic reading levels. 
  • Standardized test scores have essentially been flat for over 30 years, despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent on government-run education.
  • A dozen states have universal or near universal school choice programs and 33 states have some form of school choice program.
  • School choice programs have a strong record of improving students’ academic performance.
  • School choice has proven to be cost effective and saves taxpayer dollars.
  • Parents report higher levels of school safety for their children who participate in school choice programs.
  • Support for school choice is overwhelming, with 70% of Democrats, 73% of Black Americans, and 69% of Hispanic Americans in favor of it.
  • President Trump is dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to receive a world-class education.

FULFILLING THE PROMISE TO STRENGTHEN EDUCATION THROUGH FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY: President Trump promised to bring school choice to every family in the Nation. Today’s historic executive order is a critical step in delivering on that promise, and builds on the long list of accomplishments from the first Trump Administration, including:

  • Calling on Congress to pass the School Choice Now Act and the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act.
  • Providing in-person learning options for low-income parents forced to send their children to virtual school during the pandemic.
  • Re-authorizing the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program twice.
  • Investing nearly $1.5 billion in the development of public charter schools, helping this innovative sector grow to 7,500 charter schools serving more than 3 million students.
  • Allowing parents across the nation to withdraw up to $10,000 tax-free per year from 529 education savings plans to cover public, private, or religious K-12 schooling costs, thanks to the President’s historic tax cuts.

Parents can be confident that under his Administration, President Trump will provide every available opportunity for parents to enrich the education of their children through individual choice.

 

 

 

Oh My.

If there is EVER a reason to HOMESCHOOL your child in Minnesota, the 2021 Social Studies Benchmarks that was pushed during the WALZ administration might be the PUSH you needed to GET OUT.

It seems that the only thing Government Schools want, is to ensure all the tender minds they have control of, for hours every day, is turn out to be obedient, little drones.

“Parental Rights End When You Send Your Kids to Public School” – New Mexico Attorney In Training Session to Teachers (VIDEO)

New Mexico official claims parents of public-school children have no parental rights. 

In a shocking undercover video released Tuesday, New Mexicans learned why attempts to get education officials to listen to concerns about critical race theory, transgender indoctrination, masking children, and school lockdowns have been such an uphill battle: New Mexico state officials have trained teachers and school boards that parents have no rights when it comes to their kids.

“Parental rights end when you decide to send your kids to public school,” claimed attorney, Andrew Sanchez (below), who conducted a recent training session for New Mexico teachers and school board members in Bernalillo County.

In his shocking diatribe, Sanchez also attacked religious freedom and the founding fathers and mocked parents. He claimed that the radical ideology taught in schools is “simply civic and patriotic values common to all Americans of equity, justice, and equal treatments. You’re supposed to be making Americans who at some point, later on, can decide what political affiliation they want.”

Sanchez then went on to imply that the ultimate reason schools must replace values children might be learning at home is they want them to vote appropriately when it comes time:

What you teach this generation that will soon be voting are going to be instrumental to the future of us as a democracy and as society goes forward.

It’s no wonder that New Mexico public education is ranked dead last in the nation. Watch the entire undercover video:
