Riley Gaines says school choice is ‘answer’ to ‘unelected bureaucrats’ in education
Women’s sports activist Riley Gaines on Thursday asserted school choice is the “answer” to “unelected bureaucrats” in school districts.
Gaines visited the Texas Capitol in Austin, where House Republicans unveiled priority legislation Thursday morning aimed at expanding school choice in the state. House Bill 3, authored by Rep. Brad Buckley, R-Salado, would establish an education savings account program, according to the bill’s text.
Such programs allow families to use public funds for alternative education options, such as private schooling or homeschooling.
While speaking with Fox San Antonio, Gaines called the legislation a “huge step” to universal school choice. She argued such an approach is necessary in Texas.
