AFC Commends President Trump’s Executive Order for Education Freedom

The American Federation for Children (AFC) celebrates President Trump’s executive order prioritizing education freedom opportunities for all families across the nation.

Statement from Tommy Schultz, CEO, American Federation for Children

“President Trump has a chance to be the School Choice President and with today’s executive order, he shows he intends to take it. Now Congress has the chance to pass the Educational Choice for Children Act so that the President can sign his campaign promise into law. For a generation, our nation’s education system has been held hostage by bureaucrats and schooling unions who care only about preserving their own power, not the needs of American students. The time is now for school choice in every state, and this order is a key step in that direction. We share President Trump’s goal of passing a nationwide tax credit scholarship and returning control of education funding to the states and families. We are eager to work together to ensure that all families, especially lower-income families, in every state, can enjoy the blessing of education freedom.”
