A Note From Betsy
Education is the lifeblood of everything we want America to be. Every American is impacted every day by how our education system has โ or has not โ risen to meet the unique needs of each studentโฆ to meet your needs, as a student, a parent, a teacher, a family member, an employer, or a proud citizen of this remarkable land.
Fighting for freedom in education is my lifeโs work. It was the honor of my life to serve as the 11th United States Secretary of Education. While the four years I spent in Washington got a lot of attention, Iโve spent nearly forty fighting for kids, their families, and a better education ecosystem. And that fight continues today. Thatโs why Iโm so glad youโre here to learn more and get involved.
If we fix education, we fix America. It really is that simple.
I hope youโll join me in the fight to bring education freedom to every kid in America. After all, they represent 100% of our future.

Hostages No More โ The Fight for Education Freedom and the Future of the American Child
For too long, students have been held hostage by an outdated school system thatโs focused on everything but children. We can change that.
Hostages No More tells the story of my fight for groundbreaking reforms to American education, but more importantly, itโs about our shared goal to free Americaโs children from an education system that continues to fail them. The school union bosses and their politician and media allies berate everyone who criticizes them, but parents are done being given excuses about why their kids arenโt learning and why theyโre being force-fed poisonous curriculum.
I’ve been fighting alongside families for nearly 40 years, and the momentum demand for school choice is stronger than ever. This parent uprising will not stop until every family has education freedom. I hope this book will encourage you to join the fight for our children and our future.
President Trump and Congress must put parents squarely in the driverโs seat of their childrenโs education. When they have the power to take kids out of failing schools, real accountability will follow.

โThe Department of Education is functionally a middleman. And like most middlemen, it doesnโt add value. It merely adds cost and complexity.โ

On June 23, 1972, #TitleIX was signed into law, prohibiting sex-based discrimination in federally funded programs. Today, we celebrate this groundbreaking law and affirm our commitment to equal educational opportunity for millions of women & girls across the country.
Another great reason to pass the Big Beautiful Bill is it includes the Educational Choice for Children Act, which will deliver school choice for kids nationwide. My father promised to stand up to the leftist teachers unions and fight for our kids...and he's doing exactly that! ๐บ๐ธ
It's time to deliver on one of President Trump's longest-standing and most transformative promises!
The One Big Beautiful Bill expands education freedom nationwide. ๐บ๐ธ๐
Thank you, Governor!
The Texas Legislature passed and I signed into law the largest day-one school choice launch in the nation.
Texas families now have the choice to find the school that is right for them.
Promises made, promises kept.
