Texans for Homeschool Freedom is a Christian-led organization dedicated to fighting for parents’ God-given right to direct their children’s education in the manner they see fit.
We are made up of Texans from every background and every stage of life.
What brings us together is the belief that parents have the right to educate their children outside of a public school setting with no government oversight and that no law, bureaucratic regulation, or standardized test will lead to a better educated child.
We support the current laws in Texas which allow parents to choose between public, charter, and nonpublic schools.
We believe efforts to have ”the money follow the child” are a real threat to parental freedom, and we have and will continue to defend the educational liberties we have gained in Texas with diligence and urgency.
