Governor Abbott Advocates For Protecting Parental Rights In Bryan

Statement

Governor Greg Abbott last night advocated for protecting parents' rights to choose the best education opportunity for their child at a Parent Empowerment Night at Brazos Christian School in Bryan.

"Our country is premised on freedom, and that freedom as it concerns raising children rests the most in parents," said Governor Abbott. "Parents deserve the freedom to choose the best education pathway for their child. We must reform curriculum to get kids back to the basics of learning, and we must empower parents. Parents should have access to curriculum, school libraries, and what their children are taught. And we will do that with our Parental Bill of Rights. No one knows what is better for a child's success than their parents. When it comes to education, parents matter. This is so vital to the future of our state, I made education freedom an emergency item this session."
