TOGETHER, WE CHAMPION PARENTAL RIGHTS AND HOMESCHOOL FREEDOM

Each election cycle, THSC works to provide families with the best possible list of endorsements so that families can feel empowered to go to the polls to vote for the most pro-family and pro-homeschooling candidates in Texas!

We partner with individuals – just like you – to establish interview committees (otherwise known as THSC Vetting Committees) who interview candidates before any endorsement is issued.

In 2022, THSC launched our sister organization, the Family Freedom Project. Family Freedom Project is built on a simple presumption: God gave children to parents. FFP works in the Texas Legislature and judiciary, focusing on legislation and court cases that affect the right of families to raise their children.

The Boatright Family: Our team fought for nine months to finally reunite baby Evelyn with her parents, exposing critical failures by CPS and Cook Children’s Hospital that devastated this innocent family.

The Lott Family: When CPS threatened to remove JD and Britney Lott’s children because of baseless claims from a Reddit group that had harrassed them for years, the FFP immediately intervened, ultimately preventing a CPS removal.

FFP’s continued CPS reform efforts helped save approximately 10,000 children from unnecessary CPS removals in 2024, sparing 30 children every day from family separation.
