American parents are in the fight of their lives. For years, they’ve watched public schools become petri dishes for woke ideology, where academic rigor has been sacrificed at the altar of social justice and gender theory. This isn’t just about bad policy; it’s an all-out assault on the future of our children.
In the midst of this chaos, school choice has been the great hope. It’s a simple, powerful idea: let parents control their own tax dollars to find schools that reflect their values of faith, family, and patriotism. But this is 2026. Of course, the Left couldn’t just let parents have a clean win. A clever and dangerous loophole was waiting to be exploited.
From ‘The Daily Wire’:
Hancock said that his office’s “priority was protecting taxpayer dollars to make sure that they didn’t end up in the hands of groups that support terrorist activity” or were “hostile” to the United States.
That line, a masterclass in common sense, comes from Texas. While the rest of the country talks, the Lone Star State is launching one of America’s biggest school choice programs. More importantly, they’re building it on a foundation of granite. Texas leaders understand a chilling truth: without ironclad oversight, school choice could become a pipeline, funneling our own money directly to America’s most dangerous enemies.
A Necessary Safeguard for Freedom
Under Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock, Texas is writing the playbook for what “Accountable Choice” should look like. This is the kind of proactive governance we vote for, but rarely get. It’s leadership. Before a single dollar went out the door, Hancock’s office was meticulously vetting every school applying to the state’s new Education Freedom Account program.
When red flags appeared, they didn’t look the other way. Paxton issued a legal opinion confirming the state’s absolute right to deny participation to any school linked to hostile foreign entities. This isn’t just about managing a program; it’s about running government like a business—a concept that would make heads in Washington, D.C. explode. It’s about protecting the taxpayer and ensuring a program meant to free our children isn’t twisted to endanger them.
Confronting America’s Adversaries
The threats Texas officials found were real and immediate. According to The Daily Wire, Hancock’s team flagged schools with clear connections to the Chinese Communist Party and radical Islamic groups. One institution was apparently owned by a group with an adviser tied to the CCP—the same genocidal regime working around the clock to displace America on the world stage.
Worse still, investigators found schools linked to the so-called “civil rights” group, CAIR, an organization Governor Abbott rightly designated as a foreign terrorist organization for its undeniable ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The thought that American tax dollars could ever fund an entity connected to such radicalism is sickening. By drawing this bright red line, Texas is not just protecting its students; it is defending our national security.
The Price of Patriotism
And right on cue, the outrage machine fired up. CAIR immediately started threatening lawsuits, howling about “discrimination.” They accused Texas of targeting schools over “imagined interactions” with an organization the governor “happens to dislike.” It’s the oldest trick in the progressive playbook. When the facts expose your agenda, you scream “discrimination” and try to intimidate everyone into silence.
But this is Texas. They don’t scare easily. This performative outrage is simply the cost of doing business for patriots in modern America. Courageous leaders know that protecting our nation’s children is infinitely more important than appeasing the fragile egos of anti-American activists.
Texas has delivered a masterclass for conservatives everywhere. School choice is our weapon in the war for our culture, but it must be wielded with wisdom and vigilance. Texas isn’t just playing defense; they’re on offense for our children’s future. Other states should be taking notes.
Key Takeaways
- Texas is securing its new school choice program from foreign threats.
- Taxpayer funds are being blocked from schools tied to the CCP and radical Islam.
- Conservative leadership requires protecting both education and national security.
- The Texas model provides a blueprint for patriotic educational reform nationwide.
