What happened
A White House video said President Trump is returning education to the states, empowering parents as the driver of their children’s education and giving educators more flexibility, according to the video’s speakers.
One speaker said school choice is growing at the state level, with over 30 states having private scholarship programs or education savings accounts, many of them universally eligible, as stated in the video, and that all 50 states can now serve students and expand their options, so parents whose children do not have access to a good school are not left behind, as the speaker put it.
A parent speaker thanked President Trump, Linda McMahon and the rest of the administration on behalf of parents, citing her daughter Miracle as an example that it works, and said, as she put it, we are finally funding students, not systems. The White House described the video as National School Choice Week testimonials.
Why it matters
The video is the administration’s school-choice message in testimonial form: state programs and parent thanks presented as evidence the state-first model works.
