(LifeSiteNews) — President Donald Trump made countless parents, teachers, and school officials happy this past Wednesday when he issued an inspiring proclamation celebrating National School Choice Week.
Published on January 28, the declaration not only commemorates the 250th anniversary of American independence but also reaffirms the core principle that parents, not school bureaucrats or far left activists, have the natural right to shape their children’s destinies.
National School Choice Week was started in the early 2010s to raise awareness for parental choice in education. It runs from January 25-31. Homeschooling, charter schools, voucher programs, education savings accounts, and other individualized initiatives are some of the goals of the movement, which has grown from a grassroots to a nationwide community.
