A Back-to-School Agenda That Prioritizes Students
With students across Virginia's 5th District back in school, I introduced my "Back-to-School Agenda"—one that puts parents and students first. My three bills—the Empowering Local Curriculum Act, Defending Students' Civil Rights Act, and Empowering Parents Act—would combat federal encroachment in curriculum, protect students from the harmful ideology of Critical Race Theory, and defend parents' God-given right to educate their children. As a member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, it is important to me that our school system serves the needs of Virginia's families.
Parents know what is best for their students and have primary responsibility for their children's education. Local school boards should represent the will of the parents, not teacher unions, the Biden Administration, or the DC bureaucrats. I am fighting back against the Biden Administration's overreach into the classroom with my back-to-school agenda that empowers parents, protects students from racist curriculum, and permits children to focus on their academic pursuits.
Earlier this year, I also reintroduced my Children Have Opportunities in Classrooms Everywhere (CHOICE) Act to provide struggling families the option of having federal education funds follow their students to the school of their choice, or deposited into a 529 savings account.
