A Call to Christian Pastors
Whose Children Are They?
Apologetic for School Choice Sunday 2025
One of the unique and historic principles of the American Experiment is government that creates the form of protection for the whole while preserving the value and freedom of the individual. Collectivism is the opposite and in socialist and communist nations, it swallows the individual into the “one size fits all” tyranny that destroys personal liberty. Such is the condition of an absolute government monopoly of K-12 education that controls our families’ educational decisions through taxation, impacting middle and lower income families hardest, while being allowed to use that same money to protect its monopoly.
The Lord calls us to “train up a child in the way he should go” so that “when he grows older, he will not abandon it.” (Proverbs 22:6) We believe that Texas parents should be empowered with greater transparency, quality, respect, and choices in their child’s education and that ESAs help accomplish this goal.
