Time to Protect Parents’ God-Given Right to Direct the Upbringing of Their Children
President Trump’s allusion to America’s “Golden Age” may mean new opportunities for innovation and growth, but it also means the chance to protect certain fundamental rights from ever being threatened again by a future administration.

The Founders famously imbued the American government with a complex system of checks and balances […]
Protect Kids from Explicit Apps

For many school choice advocates, shuttering the Department of Education (ED) has long been seen as an unattainable dream.

Senators to HHS – Stop Forcing Employees to Deny Biological Reality
