This Thursday, October 24 is an important day for Education Freedom!
On that day, under the leadership of Palmetto Policy Forum, Palmetto Family will join with a host of other education leaders—homeschool, Christian school, online school, private school and public charter school—to launch a new document on education freedom…and to ask for more!
After decades of lagging behind our sister states in the South, we are doing a little better in South Carolina. Charters are growing. Some bad homeschool legislation was recently killed. Online schooling is working for lots of families…and, when the state budget was signed this summer, the very first school choice program was established for Children with Exceptional Needs!
But there is so much more to do.
Please join us this Thursday for a public launch of Empowering Students, a catalog exploring school options for South Carolina parents, and explaining what other states are doing to take choice to the next level.
Here are the details:

Palmetto BS Forum. It’s just another fake astro-turf organization that only cares about a few families. They are pimping Howie the Voucher Clown’s same old voucher scam.
SC has had real honest school choice for years.
Anyone can choose to send their kids to private schools. Just don’t rob from the poor and those who need help the most by skimming public tax dollars.
Vouchers (regardless of what the voucher pimps call them) are a scam because they only leave those who need help the most even further behind.
These wacko launch events will probably draw a massive crowd of a few dozen, and most of them will be paid voucher clowns. The best voucher clowns that Howie the Carpetbugger can buy.
Are they going to issue tin foil hats at the door or should we bring our own from home?
If you think your going to advance your cause of government-run private schools by posting hate-group nonsense,it’s not going to work..
