That means YOU. It is time (past time, really) to get yourself active in your local politics – all the way up to the state. And NOW!

States across the country are “fine-tuning” their government-funded school choice programs. Legislators should be ashamed of this intrusion into parental authority
South Carolina has a reputation for being more conservative than most states, but recent education legislation shows the dangers of “free” government money even there.

The program began operating in the 2024-2025 school year and provided $6,000 per student. For the 2025-2026 school year, the program increased to $7500 and now includes 10,000 students, whereas the first year was just 5,000.

United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) has been working to close the U.S. Department of Education and return control to parents and local communities.
