(FreePressBeacon.com) – In a remarkable victory for parental rights and educational choice, U.S. Catholic Bishops have endorsed President Trump’s executive order on school choice, with Bishop David O’Connell stating that he “welcomes” it.

The order aims to expand school choice, emphasizing parental authority in children’s education and countering leftist indoctrination.
Donald Trump’s executive orders represent a pivotal movement in championing school choice and dismantling “radical indoctrination” within K–12 education.
By focusing on empowering parents, these orders open doors for families to explore private, faith-based, and charter school options, bypassing failing government-run schools.
The mainstream leftist agenda has long sought to undermine American values through public education, but the executive order takes concrete steps to thwart these efforts by backing “patriotic education” and reinstating the “1776 Commission.”
Under the first order, school choice is a primary focus, enabling federal funding to support various educational initiatives outside the traditional public school system.
Bishop David M. O’Connell underscores the Catholic Church’s stance, stating, “The Catholic Church teaches that parents are the primary educators of their children and have both the right and responsibility to direct their child’s education.”
Providing more educational options benefits diverse groups, including low-income families, military families, and Native American communities, reports the Catholic News Agency.
The order also confronts problematic educational doctrines, including critical race theory and gender ideology, which can foster division and infringe on basic family values.
For too long, some educational institutions have imposed ideologies that conflict with many American families’ principles.
“Parents want and deserve the best education for their children. But too many children do not thrive in their assigned, government-run K–12 school,” the executive order rightly asserts.
“I welcome President Trump’s Executive Order, which takes meaningful steps to expand educational freedom for families across the country. This Order rightly recognizes that parents are the primary educators of their children,” declared Bishop David M. O’Connell.
Education freedom is a critical theme as the order seeks to eliminate federal support for illegal and discriminatory practices in schools, including “discriminatory equity ideology.”
It prohibits these from receiving federal funding and reinvigorates a narrative of educational patriotism aimed at showing America’s foundational heroes in a positive and accurate light.
This approach emphasizes unity and a shared national identity, countering divisive agendas that have plagued our classrooms.
The response from U.S. bishops highlights the potential positive impact on children and educational environments that align with family values.
Bishop O’Connell further applauds provisions for Native American and military families, emphasizing parental choice and educational alignment with personal beliefs.
The executive order not only sets forth a vision of choice in education but also instills confidence in parents seeking to exert greater control over their children’s learning paths, Breitbart News reports.
With the continued support of key religious leaders and the push for policies that cherish parental input, Trump’s administration once again positions itself as a defender of core American values.
