Governor Abbott Promotes Education Freedom For All Texans In Denton

Statement

Governor Greg Abbott last night joined over 375 parents, students, teachers, and other parent empowerment advocates in support of his mission to expand school choice options for all Texas students at a Parent Empowerment Night in Denton.

"Freedom is a word that resonates with Texans--it's who we are and what we believe in," said Governor Abbott. "Structuring education for the future has to be focused on one thing: the students. When you combine freedom and focusing on students, education comes down to one, six-word sentence: mom and dad are in charge. Our job is to ensure the rightful position of parents in their child's education is protected and embodied in the state of Texas so we can achieve the best results for our students. We must empower parents to have access to school curriculum, school libraries, and what children are being taught. We must also empower parents to choose the best education option for their child--we will do that this legislative session."
