Committee voted YES

Be it resolved, we believe that parents have the God-given right to direct their children's education in the manner they see fit. We support the current laws in Texas which allow parents to choose between public, charter, and nonpublic schools. We demand that the Texas Legislature find ways to take less money from parents, grandparents, and other interested taxpayers, freeing those individuals' funds to privately create increased educational opportunities for Texas children.

Be it further resolved, we affirm that parents have the God-given right to educate their children outside of a public school setting with no government oversight, and we affirm that no law, bureaucratic regulation, or standardized test will lead to a better educated child. We believe efforts to have "the money follow the child" are a real threat to parental freedom, and we will defend the educational liberties we have gained in Texas with diligence and urgency.
