                 SUPPORTING NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for one minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to recognize 
the upcoming celebrations for National School Choice Week. Partnering 
with over 27,000 schools around the country, the focus is to inform 
parents of the education options available, meeting the needs for each 
family.
  This year, there will be over 390 bipartisan events in South Carolina 
bringing attention to the education options available. Districts are 
beginning to provide open enrollment practices, such as Richland County 
School District One.
  Open enrollment allows choosing the right school for unique learning 
and childcare needs. Educators are also appreciated, beginning with my 
wife, Roxanne, a dedicated educator and teacher.
  I am also grateful for South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster and 
Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver for their promoting 
leadership.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America with Biden open borders for 
terrorists. It is sadly clear there will be more 9/11 attacks across 
America imminent, as has been warned by the FBI.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the voters of Iowa for supporting Donald 
Trump.
