President Trump has set a goal of establishing “universal school choice.” In the midst of budget-related chaos, Republicans in Washington seem to be working to achieve that goal.

From CBN:
In the House of Representatives, lawmakers are aiming to allocate up to $5 billion a year for scholarships to help families send their children to private schools, including faith-based ones. Most American households would qualify, as long as their income is less than three times the local median income.
On the Senate side, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) has been promoting school choice legislation called the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA). On Tuesday, Cassidy celebrated because the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee moved to include his initiative in a broader tax bill that would also include Trump’s tax cuts.
Sen. Cassidy posted a video about his bill on X, writing that a “better educated American people is a better America.
If a child is stuck in a failing school, a mother should be able to move her child to a better one.
That’s what my school choice bill does—and it’s in the House tax plan.

CBN further explains what the ECCA would do:
The ECCA, introduced earlier this year in the Senate by Cassidy and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), offers federal tax incentives to individuals and businesses that donate to scholarship-granting organizations.
Donors who contribute money or stock to scholarship funds could receive a full tax credit in return. The scholarships would then help students cover a range of K–12 education expenses in both public and private schools.
We have prayed for school choice for years. While many state have taken legislative action, we’re now seeing real progress on the nation stage. Praise God! Pray for Him to keep moving through our legislators!

Thank you God this victory.
Yes, Lord we as intercessors need like the persistent widow to keep praying and keep contacting our elected officials at all levels – from national, state and local. Allow parents to make school choice an option for their children’s education. We as a nation need to give our children the best education able to compete with the rest of the world. God help us. In Jesus’ name.
