Governor Abbott Boosts Support For Education Freedom At Parent Empowerment Day At Texas Capitol

Statement

Date: March 21, 2023
Issues: K-12 Education

Governor Greg Abbott today outlined his priority to secure education freedom for all Texans at Parent Empowerment Day at the Texas Capitol in Austin. Addressing a crowd of parents, teachers, students, legislators, and other parent empowerment advocates from the Capitol's north steps, the Governor encouraged all Texans to voice their support for parent empowerment and expanding education freedom across Texas to their local legislators.

"I went to public schools, and I would not have had it any other way," said Governor Abbott. "However, I have heard so many parents and teachers across Texas raise concerns about what is being taught in classrooms today. Our schools are for education, not indoctrination. The solution to this problem is empowering parents to choose the school that's right for their child, and that's what we will pass this legislative session in Austin. It takes five minutes of your time: Call your state senator, call your state representative, and let them know you support school choice in the state of Texas."
