  • Defend Educational Freedom from State-Funded Intrusion

    “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
    the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    U.S. Constitution, 10th Amendment

    “A power to establish schools… is no more implied in the constitution, than a power to
    establish religion.”

    John Taylor, Construction Construed, and Constitutions Vindicated, 1820

    The Constitution of the United States delegates no explicit authority to the federal government to tax or fund education, or to regulate education. All such powers are reserved to the states, or to the people of the states, under the Tenth Amendment.

    All human rights, including the right to govern one’s household and direct the upbringing and education of children, are endowed by the Creator and not granted by any government.

    The family is the first and foundational unit of government, with parents bearing the full responsibility and authority to educate their children as a matter of natural and divine law.

    The State does not own children, and it has no rightful claim over the direction of their education, particularly when such education is privately funded or directed within the home.

    The Constitution Party Platform affirms that

    “We support the unimpeded right of parents to provide for the education of their children in the manner they deem best, including home, private or religious [and] all legislation from any level of government that would interfere with or restrict that liberty should be opposed.

    Taxation to fund “school choice” programs, such as Education Savings
    Accounts (ESAs), vouchers, or other redistributive subsidies that redirect public funds to private education constitutes a violation of private property rights and imposes unjust obligations upon families who do not consent to such programs.

    ESAs and similar programs are often misleadingly presented as extensions of public education, even though they funnel tax dollars into private or home-based settings, thereby eroding the distinction between public and non-public schooling.

    Tax-funded programs for non-public education blur the line between public and private schooling, inviting government oversight, mandates, data collection, and ideological control under the guise of choice.

    True educational freedom rests not in government-funded alternatives but in the restoration of parental and local authority, free from state intrusion and coercive taxation.

    The Constitution Party declares that all forms of tax-funded subsidies for non-public education are unconstitutional, immoral, and
    incompatible with the principles of individual liberty, private property, and family sovereignty.

    The Constitution Party calls upon the legislatures of all fifty states to nullify, reject, and repeal any existing tax-funded programs that subsidize private, religious, or home education, and to refrain from enacting any such programs in the future.

    The Constitution Party rejects the redefinition of programs like ESAs as public education and affirms that such reclassification undermines both the integrity of public schooling and the independence of private and home education.

    The Constitution Party affirms the sacred right of parents to educate their children without enticement, interference, or coercion by the State.

    The Constitution Party rejects any claim—explicit or implied—that children are wards of the State, and we declare that no government has authority to intrude upon the God-given hierarchy of the family, where parents, not politicians, are the rightful stewards of the next generation.

    The Constitution Party warns all liberty-minded citizens, churches,
    homeschool associations, and private educators that the rebranding of ESAs as “public education” is a Trojan horse for expanded government regulation, surveillance, and eventual control over private and home education. We urge all who value liberty to oppose this deceptive promise of state-funded “choice” and to defend the necessary wall of
    separation between education and state control.

    Resolution passed by the Constitution Party National Committee, October 18, 2025, in Sparks, Nevada.

    The Silver Bullet to Victory

    There is no question that it’s getting pretty scary out there. Every part of our society is under siege. Are we just going to let it happen?

    You must not accept the idea that President Trump solving all these problems. One man simply cannot do it.

    The question is “what do we do?” Obviously, we have one of two choices. We accept our fate, or we fight. Are we finished? Do we quit? Do we surrender?

    It would be easy to do any of those things. No one would blame us. We gave it the good fight. We could hide behind the idea that ancient conspiracies set our fate long before we were born. Some argue that members of secret societies somehow trumped every ideal we hold and overpowered every move we made.

    We could pat ourselves on the back and say, well, they were just too strong. What could we do? Tyranny is our destiny. Is that what you want to tell your grandchildren when they ask you what you did to preserve the ideals of America?

    In another era, we could have loaded up boats and sailed to a new world to live by the ideals we hold. But that was already done. People ran from tyranny.

    They came here – to America. Now tyranny has caught us. And there’s nowhere else to run. We either accept our pre-ordained “fate” or make a stand. This is the moment when we decide the future of our ideals.

    You know the ideals I’m talking about:

    • That you are born with liberty.
    • That it is your God-given right to speak your mind, start a business, own and control property, build your dream home – and expect it to be there for as long as you like,
    • practice your religion exactly as you believe, and, above all,
    • expect that the government will protect those rights at all costs.

    We know by witnessing history that totalitarianism does not work. Government control of the actions of the people only leads to poverty, misery and death.

    And we know that the United States was the first nation ever created that recognized the God-given natural rights of individuals – and America’s history has proven that such a system is the only one that produces prosperity and happiness.

    So what do we do?

    Do we fight for those ideals of liberty? Or will we allow them to be lost forever under some global village? Do nothing, and they have made the decision for us. What can be easier than that?

    You must understand that these are not just random, misguided policies from confused politicians. We are facing a well-organized, massively funded agenda from a very determined gang of global thieves. They are not a secret society. They are right there in front of us – openly admitting their agenda.

    First, we must start listening. Then at some point we say NO – and mean it! Then we get serious about stopping them.

    We have to help people to speak out in an effective way. They must not be intimidated. Because that’s why many concerned citizens just give up. They are afraid to act.

    We have to teach them how to research what the enemy is doing: how to recruit reliable and dedicated activists to our cause, and how to speak and present our cause to the public.

    Above all, we must teach local activists how to create effective campaigns to get bad politicians out of office and replace them with good ones who are determined to save our Republic.

    That’s the Silver Bullet to Victory!
