Last week, House Speaker Jason White unveiled HB2, the Mississippi Education Freedom Act - the most exciting and ambitious advancement for school choice in our state in years, perhaps ever!

Mr. Jefferson warned of the American Presidency: “bad men will sometime get in”. Now that we can plainly see; that we plainly know. The Sage of Monticello wrote for the ages. It is time for the Congressmen from both parties along with the Courts, and perhaps the Cabinet itself, to speak up more firmly to reign in a destructive President.
