If Mississippi allows its energy policy to be shaped by eco campaigners, it will become poor like Europe mississippitoday.org/2026/05/28/dat…

@DouglasCarswell I wish I could say this was unbelievable but it’s actually par for the course. Weak kneed republicans putting their fear of the education establishment above what is best for their constituents. We will outlast them.

Mississippi Senate leaders killed school choice. Again

@JeanneAllen @jamestalarico I got one too! Clearly they have bad data.

You've got the wrong girl, @jamestalarico. You fought hard against #TexasEducationFreedomAccounts, dismissing them as "welfare for the wealthy." But thousands of Texas families—especially those with children who have learning differences, special needs, or limited financial means—have gained opportunities they never had before through schools that better meet their needs. Parents know the difference between political talking points and real options for their children. I hope voters remember that in November.

How has homeschooling become the fastest-growing education model? Families choose to homeschool for different reasons (wanting faith-based curriculum, accommodating their child's medical needs, or learning differences). The underlying reason is the same, these families want the freedom to customize their child's learning. edchoice.org/2026-how-homes…

School board members do not lose their 1st Amendment Rights when they assume office. This helpful resource from Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty breaks down the rights of school board members in terms of free speech. @WILawLiberty will-law.org/wp-content/upl…

More than 200 studies point to a consistent trend: school choice programs can improve outcomes for students, families and taxpayers. In a new review of this research, @bendegrow, Senior Policy Director for Education Choice, highlights gains in graduation rates, parent satisfaction, school safety and even public school performance.

PPI's Director of Education Policy @RDellingerSC appeared on WISTV to talk about the new ban on grade floors in SC schools.

New South Carolina law bans grade floors to boost transparency in student performance! @PalmettoPromise wistv.com/2026/05/28/new…

“Breaking news” to the country was years of work on the ground in Minnesota. See how the Center of the American Experiment stayed on the story until it could no longer be ignored. #how-american-experiment-brought-minnesotas-fraud-story-to-the-nation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spn.org/spn-news-sprin…

The Palmetto State is leading the nation in in-migration. This influx of wealth and people can be great for our economic vitality, but it does bring some challenges. We have the Welcome mat out, but no interest in Californification. palmettopromise.org/south-carolina…

This announcement is a big win for rural health in South Carolina, and this program will drive innovation that improves access to care for families across our rural communities.

Most Americans obsess over Washington while the decisions shaping their daily lives happen much closer to home. That’s why @spencerpratt's message about local leadership is resonating far beyond reality TV. As Ray Nothstine (@American_Habits) writes in the @dcexaminer, city leadership and federalism still matter deeply in American life. Read more: washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4584088…

Stop everything you're doing and watch this young man explain how school choice changed his life. "That single opportunity changed everything for me." "@ACEscholarships not only gave me access to a great school – they rescued my family from going under."

Early voting has begun in SC’s gubernatorial primary. As voters head to the polls, here’s a reminder that 4 candidates have the @PalmettoPromise Universal School Choice Pledge: ✅ Wilson ✅ Evette ✅ Norman ✅ Kimbrell Every SC child deserves access to the education that best fits their needs.

The 126th session is in “overtime” at this point, so our comprehensive analysis of the good and bad legislation will need to wait for now. But, we have an initial overview of what got done in 2025-26 on our blog. palmettopromise.org/the-legislativ…

As the proud dad of two public school kids, education is personal to me. I’m proud of the teachers we have across South Carolina, and as Governor, I’ll fight to reward great teachers, support struggling schools, and empower parents with more choices for their children’s future. My parents sacrificed to give me the best education possible. Every parent in South Carolina deserves that same opportunity.

@RahmEmanuel No one has abandoned public education. Every state continues to pour billions into the failing system. Fortunately some families are now able to seek alternatives through school choice programs as well.

There are three doors a child walks through that will determine their future: the front door of the home, the front door of the school, and the front door of the place of worship. If those three doors are not aligned, it impacts a child’s education and future. Today, 50% of our kids cannot read at grade level. Republicans have abandoned public education, Democrats have abandoned standards and accountability, and our kids are the ones paying the ultimate price.

New eligibility information has been released for the federal tax credit scholarship program! Families are now able to see the income limitations to be able to receive a scholarship starting next year. edchoice.org/2026-updated-e…

Government schools spend $21,456 per child per year. Imagine if that money went directly to families instead. A teacher could set up a microschool with just 14 students and pull in $300,384 a year.

Reading scores have declined in 83 percent of school districts across the country over the past 10 years. It’s not just a COVID thing. postandcourier.com/opinion/commen…
