                      NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, as we recognize National School Choice Week, 
I rise to support educational freedom and efforts to empower our 
Nation's parents to make the educational decisions best for their 
families.
  Over the last 2 years, we have seen our school systems and classrooms 
weaponized, pushing political agendas on our Nation's children.
  These agendas have undermined the core purpose of our school systems: 
educating our children and preparing them for a successful future. 
These biased agendas are nothing more than liberal propaganda forced on 
our children, and they simply do not belong in the classroom.
  As the proud parent of four school-age children, I understand how 
critical it is for parents to direct the education of their children, 
whether through the public school system, private schools, charter 
schools, homeschools, or otherwise. Each is a vital part of our 
educational system.
  As one of the newest members of the Committee on Education and 
Workforce, I look forward to restoring the rights of parents to direct 
their child's education, not the Federal Government acting in loco 
parentis.
