Here’s one more reason parents are demanding school choice

So the, the Trump team is, is, uh, has, uh, announced proposed rules for what he's calling will, will end up being the first national school choice program.

Scott Bessent, uh, Secretary of Treasury, and the IRS have proposed regulations to implement this new educational scholarship tax credit program that, uh, I mean, essentially is going to expand school choice nationally.

You're gonna have an option here, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, families are gonna have options finally.

So the regulations pertaining to this, to this program, uh, are enacted under the One Big Beautiful Bill.

You know about the One Big Beautiful Bill.

We've been talking about it here for a bit.

And you know about this, this scholarship program.

Essentially, it allows individual taxpayers to claim tax credits for certain cash contributions that they make to scholarship-granting organizations.

If, if, if you have a, a private school or a classical school you wanna donate money to, then th- this program establishes scholarship-granting organizations, and essentially, you, you donate your seventeen hundred to the SGO, and you say, "Hey, I want that money to, uh, you know, I, I want it to go to Waterbrook Christian Academy.

I want it to go to a classical private school." Or, uh, you s-- you, you say, "I, I want it to go to a Hillsdale Charter School." Um, y- you know, you, you get to decide here.

You get to decide where the money's gonna go, and I, I implore you, I encourage you, support classical education because this is what's, this is what's gonna save the country.

Classical education will not only save the country, but it will single-handedly, in my opinion, save Western civilization.

I guess I shouldn't say single-handedly.

I mean, providence, uh, is definitely leading the way here.

But classical education is, is the instrument perhaps.

So these SGOs are entities that provide scholarships to cover elementary and secondary school expenses.

Uh, they can be used to cover a wide range of expenses, by the way, um, including tuition, private school tuition, academic tutoring, books, special needs services, supplies, computers, other expenses that relate to and pertain to your children's education.

This, this money can be applied to it.

Um, other, other forms of, of, of enrollment.

This is according to the, to the IRS statement just a couple of days ago, October first.

Scott, uh, Bessent said in a statement that this, this program, this, this Federal Scholarship Tax Credit marks a new chapter in educational freedom and opportunity by establishing America's first nationwide school choice program and empowering states to give students and families more options.

It, it truly is a nationwide school choice pro- program because n- now there are scholarships available.

Let's say you want your son or your daughter to go to a private classical school, but you, you can't afford it.

Well, now this private classical school is receiving tax dollars in, in large amounts, by the way, $1,700 a person, uh, that, that are going to the, the classical school of their choice, and your son or your daughter can now enroll and, and there's scholarship money available.

And it's not government funded.
