TRUMP VOWS TO BE A ‘CHAMPION’ FOR HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES IN SECOND TERM
President Donald Trump has always supported school choice, and he has claimed to be a “champion” for the growing number of Americans who are choosing to homeschool their kids.
In a new video released to Truth Social, Trump said, “As president, it was my honor to support America’s homeschool families and to protect the God-given right of every parent to be the steward of their children’s education.”
Since Covid started, the president said, there has been an “estimated 30 percent increase in homeschool enrollment.”

He called the choice to homeschool “courageous” and said that if he were president again in 2025, he would do everything he could to help homeschooling families.
He said, “Under the Trump Tax Cuts, we let families use 529 education savings accounts to pay for K–12 tuition without paying taxes on up to $10,000 per year.” This is a huge victory for school choice…but homeschoolers didn’t get that advantage.”
The president promised that if he got a second term, he would “immediately” fight for homeschool families to get the same benefits as any other child, including up to $10,000 per child to spend “completely tax free on costs associated with homeschool education.”
He also said that he would work to make sure that all homeschooled students had the same opportunities as “non-homeschooled” students, such as “participating in athletic programs, clubs, after-school activities, educational trips, and more.”
The National Home Education Research Institute says that between 2020 and 2021, about 3.7 million American children went to school at home. Since then, this number has grown very quickly.

Trump said, “To every homeschool family: I WILL BE YOUR CHAMPION.” “DO NOT vote for the Democrats. If you don’t mind me telling you, they want to kill you!”
He made a joke by saying, “Don’t vote Democrat and don’t vote for Crooked Joe. Please vote for Honest Donald. Thank you!”
