Let’s face facts…public schools are a mess. They’re laced with DEI. Teachers are cancelling class to grandstand at political riots.

None of this is sustainable.

Yet at every turn, teachers unions shamelessly resist school choice.

Union leaders send their own kids to private schools…but they want OUR kids warehoused in low quality classrooms from K to 12.

Thankfully, the school choice movement keeps gaining traction. Now, more than ever, both parents and non parents are seeing the light.

No child’s educational prospects should be limited by their zip code.

What’s truly powering this movement?

You guessed it…President Trump’s Education Freedom Scholarship Program, a nationwide school choice initiative!

Putting Children and Education First

This year, the Trump administration spearheaded an Educational Freedom Tax Credit.

As part of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, the president’s program makes school choice much more accessible to parents everywhere.

The first step is for states to voluntarily opt in. Once that happens, these states get rewarded with elite benefits.

Private funding for scholarships via federal tax credits.

Services that subsidize after school programs, technology, tutoring, and education for special needs kids.

You can’t beat that.

President Trump vowed to make America great again. This begins with giving parents a REAL say over where our kids go to learn.

Promises made, promises kept!

States Are Quickly Opting In

After years of fighting for school choice at the state level, this Education Freedom Scholarship Program is a GODSEND.

Parents can finally breathe again.

So far, nearly half of the nation has signed up. That includes not just red states like Florida and Texas, but also blue strongholds like Colorado and Virginia.

Getting on board should be a no brainer.

States that opt in secure more funding for summer educational initiatives, tutoring, and scholarships that benefit low income families.

Kids aren’t trapped in failing public schools anymore.

What’s not to like?

Right now, all eyes are on Vermont.

Will GOP Gov. Phil Scott join the bipartisan group of governors who’ve signed onto President Trump’s school choice program?

If he cares about his state and Vermont’s children, this will be an EASY yes.

Anti School Choice Zealots Are Losing It

Amid bipartisan momentum behind school choice, the academic establishment is freaking out.

Remember…these folks profit from keeping children in failing public classrooms.

They don’t want the gravy train to stop running. Teachers unions need the blood money to keep flowing.

THAT is why they’re spreading lies about the Education Freedom Scholarship Program.

Don’t be fooled. They all want us believing that nationwide access to school choice is “dangerous.”

Their latest propaganda? Trump’s initiative “hurts children” in public classrooms…

Here’s the reality… these kids have BEEN hurting…President Trump’s program just gives them easy access to solutions.

In 2026, anti school choice zealots know their time is up. They know they’ve failed our kids, setting them back years.

The party is OVER.

Their false claims about “discrimination” and “lack of oversight” will not prevail.

All 50 States Must Opt Into President Trump’s School Choice Initiative

It’s not enough for “some” states to embrace school choice.

We need ALL hands on deck.

The sooner this happens, the sooner children will be liberated from dangerous teachers unions.

They had their chance to improve education. Yet time after time, they failed…then rubbed it in our faces.

Enough is enough.

If you’re in a state that hasn’t joined the Education Freedom Scholarship Program, it’s time to take action.

Call your governor’s constituent services office.

Let them know why school choice is so critical.

The sooner every state gets on board, the faster we can advance education, setting our kids up for SUCCESS.

The leftist who violent attacked me last night has been positively identified as @TaylorxForte

She is allegedly a public school teacher in Prince George County. Why is it always teachers?

Maine social worker says HUNDREDS of kids in her district were deported

Many of the kids were victims of human trafficking

Democrats ran a MASSIVE human trafficking operation

The real number of illegals is MUCH higher than anyone even knows

The schools will do everything they can to indoctrinate them.

OMG

.@SeaPubSchools is reportedly working with Seattle Children’s Hospital to provide chest binders, tucking tape, and tucking underwear to kids who think they’re trans in schools‼️

Shut it down!! @usedgov

“As of today, I've contacted over 700 different employers of people who have been celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder”

“What's really astonishing to me is the fact that most of these employees have been working in the education field, in high schools, middle schools, educating our future generation. In addition to that, they have been working in the medical field. And it's really a shame to see that these are the people who are supposed to be equipping our next generation and saving our sick.”

FEMA SECTION CHIEF: Charlie Kirk "Kind of Deserved It" — O'Keefe Media Records Top Official at Federal Agency Laughing About Assassination of Conservative Commentator

An official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), was caught on hidden camera laughing about the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, calling him “a lunatic” who “kind of deserves it,” and saying agency staff were “laughing” at the news and showed “not a ton of empathy.” The official admitted to sharing memes about the attack, raising serious concerns about political bias and professionalism within the nation’s emergency response agency.

In 2021 Mayorkas said he was allocating FEMA money to fight “domestic extremism.”

He went on to label parents at school board meetings “terrorists.”

My god, BLM posted this on their instagram. I pulled it up and confirmed this

These people are violent dangerous racists

🚨BREAKING: Black Lives Matter have responded to the Iryna Zarutska incident.

The response is shocking.

“Black people have a right to violence”

That Instagram appears to be ran by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc., with EIN 82-4862489. They don't report receiving taxpayer money but they funnel a lot of expenses through "consulting."

BREAKING: A Florida parent calls on school board chair Sarah Rockwell to resign because she "cheered for the death of MAGA."

She said, "Good. One less MAGA in the world" in response to Hulk Hogan’s death.

Is this leadership?

Cuz it seems a lot more to like psychosis.

In the video above she's in the middle of a speech at a Leadership Summit.

A student who goes through the Ron Paul Curriculum, kindergarten through high school, will have a mastery of the foundations of liberty. There is no other homeschool curriculum online like it.

Parents Save An Average of 15 To 20 Hours Per Week With Ron Paul Curriculum. Reclaim Your Time Today & Start Your Annual Family Membership

"I spent from 15-20 hours a week preparing, teaching, and reviewing assignments. Now I spend about an hour a week checking on their progress.".

"We have been using the Ron Paul Curriculum, and our total instructional time is now approximately 2 hours per week."

Massive Savings For Families

No printed textbooks are required, saving families a lot of money. As you are well aware, textbooks cost a great deal of money and can really eat into your homeschool budget. Almost all of the materials are free: ink and paper only. Only when the materials are copyrighted and time-sensitive -- modern business and modern literature -- do parents pay for books.

Self-Taught Curriculum Gives You Time Freedom

The curriculum is mostly self-taught. If a student gets stuck, he can get help from other students on the course Q&A forums. Older students serve as tutors for younger students. They learn by teaching, which is a great way to master any new field.

Students Master Written Communication

This homeschool curriculum teaches students how to write. The teachers in the social sciences and humanities at the high school level have Ph.D. degrees. Both are successful writers. They are both successful businessmen. They will teach your children how to write effectively and fast.

Students start writing weekly essays in the fourth grade.

They do not stop until they finish their final courses.

I doubt that they will ever stop.

Essential Website Building Skills

Every high school student has to set up at least one website. Their weekly papers must be posted on their sites. This is crucial for self-education: public visibility. Students can see what the competition is doing. Most students hate this aspect of the curriculum, but it forces them to do their best with their writing assignments. Parents have an obligation to see to it that their children post their weekly papers. This is the #1 educational task for the parents.

The curriculum centers around the weekly essays. Parents should probably read them. If they want to grade them, that's fine. If they don't, that's also fine. But parents had better insist that their children post URL links to their posted weekly essays. These links must be posted on the course forums.

Our Curriculum Teaches Self Discipline

No student who gets through this homeschool curriculum will ever need to be nagged to get through college, graduate school, or a career. This curriculum teaches self-discipline. This is a crucial personal habit. It is mostly internal. It develops after years of working in an environment that requires self-discipline.

Finish College Faster — For Well Under $15,000!

For students who hustle, they will enter college as juniors. They will quiz out of their first two years of college for about $2,500, total (today's money, of course). They will get into the work force as college graduates two years before their peers do.

The man who teaches the public speaking course in grade 9 and the history and literature courses for grades 6 through 8 graduated from an accredited college on his 18th birthday. He paid for his own college education by working part time in his own home business. It cost him under $12,000. It can be done. I recommend it.

If you are a parent, this should get your attention. I think students should also be motivated. (I am assuming that students want to get out of school fast.)

I launched this site three months after my final day in Congress in January 2013. Under Congressional rules, I could not operate a business, even an educational one, while I was a member of Congress. Now I can. — Ron Paul

BENEFITS AND COSTS

What Does the Ron Paul Curriculum Cost?

It costs $250 a year for a family to join if it signs up for automatic annual billing. It costs $350 a year for manual billing. This does not include course costs ($50 each).

This does not mean that if you forget to tell us to cancel automatic billing, you are stuck. There is a 60-day money-back guarantee each academic year. But it does mean that if you cancel, and then you decide to re-join, you will have to pay the $350 fee.

Automatic billing locks in the $250 fee until your last child goes off to college -- or stays home, and earns a B.A. degree for under $15,000, total, through distance education -- which we usually recommend.

Then there are course fees: $50 per course.

We do offer two sample courses: introduction to phonics and introduction to mathematics. Each has 40 free lessons. Then, if you join and buy the courses, you get 140 additional lessons per course.

Tutorial forums. Access to the forums is free with membership.

The RPC does not sell the courses apart from membership. You must belong to the site in order to get the videos of the courses. The videos are not available to the general public.

This gives the student plenty of time to take the Study Skills Course. Mastering the techniques presented in this course is important for academic success -- the earlier, the better.

The curriculum is mostly self-taught — even from 3rd grade and beyond. If a student gets stuck, he can get help from other students on the course Q&A forums. Older students serve as tutors for younger students. They learn by teaching, which is a great way to master any new field.

What if you want to take a course on your own -- no children? It will cost you $50. But if you have paid for one of your children to take it, it's free to you for the full year of the course.

Students will be taught the basics of video production, website design, and Internet marketing. A few of them will have profitable businesses by the time they are 16.

Have you ever had to move your family from a bad school district to a good one because your child's school was abhorrent?

Did your “assigned” school teach Critical Race Theory or try to cram gender ideology down your child’s throat inappropriately? Did the education your children got not rival other countries that don't have DEI practices for hiring teachers, and that passed up the U.S. in key areas like math, science, and reading? Do the teachers at your school promote political activism or their social agenda over teaching your children key learning they need to survive in 2025 and beyond?

Have you had to spend thousands to tens of thousands of dollars on tutoring programs, private school, or an alternate way to educate your child because the school in your district didn’t meet the bare minimum needs for proper education?

In this Deskooled podcast, Corey DeAngelis speaks about School Choice Week, and the ways Americans can finally count on their schools to do better.

Fortunately, 26 governors from Alabama and Texas to Alaska and Montana have issued a proclamation declaring this National School Choice Week as well, with plans to implement laws that will support more choice for parents and students alike.

What’s School Choice?

School Choice has seen more progress in the past three years than in the entire three previous decades. It’s a collection of policies that allow parents to use funds normally earmarked for public school education on any program that best fits their child’s education needs.

Instead of being restricted to a school near your home that may be underperforming, or a government-assigned school, you can choose from the following, saving money on tuition through tax credits when you don’t utilize your “district” or appointed school:

• Public Schools

• Charter Schools

• Private Schools

• Homeschooling

• Tutoring

• Online learning

School Choice is funded by Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) which are state-funded accounts parents can use for tuition, tutoring, online learning, special needs services, and other educational costs.

With additional competition and accountability, not only do parents get to choose a better school for their child, but underperforming schools have no choice but to improve or to become obsolete.

This increase in interest in School Choice is largely due to teachers unions pushing for extended school closures during COVID-19, leading parents to seek other education alternatives.

So while the Deep State, and infiltrated school boards were lying to us all about COVID, and our children were robbed of a good education and healthy socialization, there may be a silver lining to the school closures caused by this mayhem.

Why School Choice is Critical

International assessments, such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), have revealed that students in countries like Singapore, Finland, South Korea, and Canada outperform American students on almost every metric measured.

Aside from the laughable amount of money spent on DEI, school bureaucracies instead of quality teachers, and the infiltration of illegal immigrants into our school system, the rigor of our education has suffered as we’ve lowered our standards to the lowest common denominator rather than raising low-performing schools and students to a high mark.

Countries like Finland hire highly trained educators, often requiring teachers to have master’s degrees and extensive classroom experience before they step in front of a class.

In the U.S. states and even districts within states create their own standards. This is why you’ll see woke ideology taught in some schools and not others, for example.

Japan and China also teach problem-solving and critical thinking, not just how to regurgitate memorized facts. They essentially teach children how to think and ask questions so that they can teach themselves.

American schools emphasize standardized tests which favor memorized facts over creativity, students who can make correlations between seemingly unrelated fields of study, and other critical thinking skills.

Funding is also heavily skewed in favor of some schools, while others are left in financial ruin with fewer resources for students.

Congressman Chuck Edwards and others have advocated for School Choice so that all American children can have the best possible education.

It’s a great start to recover our children’s education and lives after the Deep State fallout from a manufactured pandemic. For School Choice to succeed, we’ll need to push it nationwide, with real accountability coming from empowered parents, not government oversight.

The deschooling movement (Deskool) is gaining steam as more American parents pull their kids out of public schools

It might not be long until homeschooling becomes socially normative. What was once considered to be an educational avenue of last resort is now spilling into the mainstream.

With each passing day, more parents are educating their kids at home despite paying taxes into the public school system.

Parents’ Views of Education are Shifting

Parents who’ve been traumatized by bullying, teasing, and other forms of abuse are considering alternatives to public school. Instead of paying exorbitant sums of money for private school tuition, parents are becoming self-reliant.

An increasing number of parents are becoming aware of the pitfalls of today’s chaotic schools thanks to the internet. To say some public schools have become torture chambers isn’t as egregious of an exaggeration as many assume. Scroll through your X feed and you’ll likely find the algorithm favors school fight videos.

Moreover, the public education system is somewhat stuck in the past. Today’s public schools lack the resources and creativity necessary to prepare students for an increasingly dynamic employment landscape.

As Jared Fuller, the COO of OpenEd.co recently pointed out, the modern education system is designed for the generations of yesteryear. Textbooks and curriculums haven’t changed to the extent necessary for kids to adjust to technological change.

Today’s public school system is essentially frozen in time, preparing kids for the employment challenges of the past. However, the days of the Greatest Generation and their Baby Boomer offspring remaining in one position for several decades are long gone.

The average American now changes jobs half a dozen times throughout his or her career. The challenge lies in preparing students for the dynamics a rapidly changing work landscape and society.

Homeschooling is the Wave of the Future

Teaching kids at home poses two primary problems: financing the operation and adequately preparing kids for the working world without the assistance of those with formal teaching credentials. An increasing number of parents are managing to educate their kids at home despite these hurdles.

The somewhat surprising success of education in the home is a testament to the merit of the DIY (do it yourself) ethos. There is a growing anti-public school movement that shuns convention in favor of self-reliance.

It appears homeschooling will become even more popular in the years ahead. Advances in technology allow for online learning in the home. Though parents will always play an integral role in homeschooling, it is now possible to learn virtually using a computer and webcam.

Homeschooling is especially beneficial to boys. No one is denying the fact that classrooms have become overrun with female teachers. Women inherently favor girls as such is human nature.

Moreover, boys attending public schools are two times as likely to be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than girls. Boys are better suited to non-traditional learning environments where they aren’t forced to remain seated and quiet for hours on end.

A boy allowed to learn at home is given more latitude in terms of physical activity that is simply not possible in public schools. Alternatively, girls tend to be more obedient and docile, both of which are traits rewarded by traditional schools.

Childhood Socialization as a Homeschooled Student

There is a common misconception that homeschooling renders students incapable of socializing with their peers. Indeed, the criticism has the potential to be accurate if the child is isolated and socialization is limited to an online classroom.

What homeschool critics overlook is that children, tweens, and teens have the opportunity to interact with those in their neighborhood. Once homeschool ends, neighborhood play begins.

Granted, the population is declining and the sight of kids is becoming increasingly rare. However, a couple neighborhood friendships go a long way.

Our shrinking population combined with the rise of homeschooling will inevitably force schools to consolidate operations. We might eventually reach the point where most parents decide homeschooling is superior to the public education system.

Parents might eventually universally agree that it is better to homeschool through online and parental teaching. The decentralization of the public school system might one day take the form of neighborhood group education.

The complete abolishment of the public school system is within the realm of possibility.
