We noted during the 2024 campaign that Donald Trump was the first major presidential nominee of either party to fully endorse school choice for low-income children.

What do you know: he’s actually putting his words into action. We did cartwheels when we saw that Trump will sign an executive order today promoting school choice.

According to CBS News:

The executive order… directs the Department of Education to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grant programs, and orders the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on how states receiving block grants for families and children can use those funds to support private and faith-based institutions…

“Every child deserves the best education available, regardless of their zip code,” the White House document reads. “However, for generations, our government-assigned education system has failed millions of parents, students and teachers. This executive order begins to rectify that wrong by opening up opportunities for students to attend the school that best fits their needs.”
