Last week, House Speaker Jason White unveiled HB2, the Mississippi Education Freedom Act - the most exciting and ambitious advancement for school choice in our state in years, perhaps ever!
This comprehensive bill delivers everything supporters of parental power have long hoped for, and it aligns perfectly with President Trump’s strong commitment to education freedom.
This isn’t some minor adjustment or performative law – it’s the real thing for anyone who believes in putting parents in charge of their children’s education.

Mr. Jefferson warned of the American Presidency: “bad men will sometime get in”. Now that we can plainly see; that we plainly know. The Sage of Monticello wrote for the ages.

Recently, I was listening to an interview with Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX. During the conversation, the interviewer displayed a graphic showing the age groups of Americans who plan to “pray more in 2026.” I was inspired to see the group leading the way was adults ages 30–44.
As they discussed the reasons behind this trend, my mind drifted to the numbers for my own age group—those 65 and older. Only 12% of seniors said they plan to pray more.

If you have followed my writing for any length of time, there should be no doubt about my love for the outside world. Whether I’m watching the foliage slowly turn from the deep green that growing seasons dictate to the fire of crimson and gold leaves gently falling to the earth, I wholeheartedly embrace the change. During the onset of the fall migration of waterfowl, I crane my neck with an ear towards the sky listening for faint cries of geese urging their leaders southward.
