New School Choice Measures That Could Save America
While the mainstream media remains fixated on the latest identity politics nonsense, something genuinely important has been happening in Washington. Two major school choice provisions have been included in the federal budget legislation that could actually make a real difference in addressing America’s cultural collapse. For decades, we’ve watched as government schools have become indoctrination centers pushing every radical agenda under the sun while academic performance circles the drain. Now, finally, we’re seeing action that could bring back some sanity to how we educate the next generation.
The first provision establishes a nationwide school choice program allowing taxpayers to reduce their tax bills by donating to private K-12 scholarships, with a cap of $5 billion. The second provides an expanded child tax credit, making this expansion permanent and indexing it to inflation. These aren’t just minor policy tweaks – they’re potentially transformative measures that could help restore Christian values to education by giving parents actual choices beyond secular government institutions that have long since abandoned moral frameworks based on our nation’s founding principles.
The Cultural Decline Linked to Secular Education
Let’s be honest about what’s happening in America. The further we’ve removed Christianity from education, the more we’ve seen our society’s moral fabric unravel. Government schools have become places where traditional values are mocked, gender confusion is celebrated, and American exceptionalism is treated as some kind of sin. Meanwhile, the academic results speak for themselves – declining test scores, functional illiteracy, and generations of kids who can’t tell you the first thing about the Constitution but can recite every grievance narrative they’ve been fed since kindergarten.
It’s no coincidence that as we’ve removed prayer from schools and replaced moral instruction with “value-neutral” education (which is never actually neutral), we’ve seen skyrocketing rates of family breakdown, substance abuse, and a general coarsening of society. The cultural Marxists who have taken over education understand exactly what they’re doing – if you want to transform a society, you start with capturing its educational institutions and separating children from their parents’ values. School choice is the first real opportunity in generations to break this monopoly.
Making School Choice Available to All Americans
For too long, wealthy Americans have been the only ones with genuine educational choices. They can afford private schools or homes in expensive districts with better public schools. Meanwhile, middle-class and poor families have been trapped in failing government schools that actively undermine the values many of these families hold dear. The hypocrisy is stunning – the same elites who push secular progressive education on everyone else often send their own children to exclusive private schools that maintain discipline and academic standards.
These new provisions would level the playing field by making Christian and other values-based education accessible to families across economic spectrums. The tax-credit scholarships would create a pathway for millions of students to attend schools that align with their families’ beliefs rather than institutions actively working to undermine them. It’s about time we addressed the root causes of educational failure rather than continuing to pour money into a broken system that produces graduates who can barely read but have been thoroughly indoctrinated in every progressive cause.
Christianity’s Role in Maintaining a Free Society
America’s founders understood something that today’s secularists want us to forget – that our constitutional republic was designed for a moral and religious people and is wholly inadequate for any other. The systematic removal of Christian moral frameworks from education hasn’t made us more “inclusive” – it’s made us more divided, more angry, and less capable of self-governance. When education fails to provide a coherent moral framework, it doesn’t create neutral citizens; it creates confused, rootless individuals susceptible to whatever ideology shouts the loudest.
These school choice measures represent a crucial step toward reclaiming American education from those who have weaponized it against traditional values. By allowing families to choose schools that teach objective standards of right and wrong, that respect our constitutional traditions, and that don’t treat the nuclear family as some outdated concept, we might begin to reverse decades of cultural and moral decline. The stakes couldn’t be higher – this isn’t just about education policy; it’s about whether America will remain recognizable to the principles that made it exceptional in the first place.
