Thank you for highlighting this. When real conservatives find out Bill Gates and UNESCO are some of the most powerful backers of "school choice" (tax funding to control private and home education), there's going to be a LOT of explaining to do by the lawmakers jumping on this bandwagon. Bill Gates is synonymous with Common Core, Covid tyranny, etc. He literally signed a deal with UNESCO (UN education agency) to globalize education in 2004.

📍Rumor has it S.62, the government-funded (& controlled) school choice bill, is coming up for a Senate vote.

Watch 👀 closely. A YES vote means your Senator and Rep support MORE government, MORE education regulations, and a heavier tax burden.

And Homeschoolers, please don’t assume you won’t be part of this mess.

And if anyone wants to ask me more about this, I welcome it. From ConservaTruth ( Facebook)

**********

Government-funded School Choice forces parents into limited, revocable options, puts golden handcuffs on member schools, and, most importantly, allows the government to define the very nature of education.

It’s critical to understand that even if the Department of Education (DOE) is potentially dismantled, that does not mean the federal government will no longer exert control over state education systems.

Federal funding still flows back into states through other agencies such as the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Defense—much of it earmarked for education-related programs.

As a result, states are still required to align their education standards and assessments with the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This law effectively sets the baseline for what states must comply with in order to receive federal funds.

This is where the danger lies: when government-regulated “school choice” legislation—such as s62 - is passed or if our legislators considers passing Jeff Davis bill S50 , it creates a direct pipeline for federal oversight into private schools and even homeschools. To accept public funds, even indirectly, those institutions must adhere to the same federally aligned standards outlined in ESSA.

This is the real and pressing threat: the illusion of educational freedom under “school choice” can lead to increased federal control over all forms of education, not just public schools.
