In Florida, 120,000 students take the Classic Learning Test (CLT), a rigorous alternative to the SAT that emphasizes logic and draws from America’s founding texts. Under Secretary Pete Hegseth's leadership, the U.S. Naval Academy and other service academies now accept the CLT as a full alternative to the SAT,... show more

“I’m proud that in Florida, all of our colleges and universities accept the CLT Exam for admissions…it’s CLT, not CRT.” — Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas He's right. The CLT is the only alternative to the SAT, which is failing too many young men and women. For starters, the SAT eliminated all questions about our nation’s founding documents (Declaration of Independence and Constitution). The SAT claims that reading and analyzing them is “not an essential prerequisite.” That’s absurd and un-American. I'm proud that the CLT exists and is the only alternative to the SAT for students who want to seek truth and meet the expectations our Founding Fathers set for all of us.

The Classic Learning Test is the standard for academic excellence and our service academies should accept nothing less. I’m proud to have secured an amendment in this year's NDAA requiring our service academies to accept the CLT as an admissions option. The SAT and ACT shouldn't have a monopoly over college admissions. Real America's Voice (RAV) | Jack Posobiec | Human Events

What we put on a test is what we seek to exemplify and elevate—and what we deliberately exclude from a test says more about us than any test ever could. It’s tragic that the SAT has chosen to purge the Constitution and Bill of Rights from its exam. Young Americans deserve a standardized test that treats our founding documents as essential. Proud to speak this week to the incredible team at the Classic Learning Test (CLT) during their company-wide Zoom call. They’ve built the fastest-growing standardized test in America, taking the SAT head-on.

We’re excited to add the Classical Learning Test as a school testing option. Parents deserve choices that reflect their values and a back-to-basics approach to education. We’re proud to ensure this option is available for families.

No child should have to attend an unsafe school. The Unsafe School Choice Option helps students and families find educational environments that are safe, ensuring every child can learn in a secure setting. We appreciate Secretary Linda McMahon and U.S. Department of Education for giving parents greater educational freedom.

Florida’s students once ranked near the bottom in math and reading. Then the state passed universal school choice. Now, “Florida ranks #1 in education,” says Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist. Schools get better when they have to compete:

$20,000 per student should buy a world-class education. In Chicago, it buys luxury trips for staff and dismal test scores for students. School choice is the escape hatch from the failing system that Chicago families deserve!

Secretary Pete Hegseth called the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz "the polite way that this can go." "We have a long track record of dealing with pirates and terrorists — but there is an alternative. As our negotiators have said, you, Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge. And we hope that you do."

I have been fighting for school choice my entire career. This year I drafted and passed into law sweeping school choice legislations, which will provide billions of dollars in K-12 scholarships for students across the nation. I'm deeply touched by letters that have been pouring in with support. We are closer than ever to ensuring every kid in America has the opportunity to receive an excellent education and have a better future.

Regarding these anti-Trump protests at public schools: The kids can't read, they can't make change at the grocery store and they don't know their pronouns. And now we know why - their schools are Antifa training camps. "This is why school choice matters and this is why giving parents the ability to send their students to the school that they desire is so important. We have to make sure that students aren't forced to be in these indoctrination centers but that parents have a choice when it comes to their education. States like Kansas are continuing to move to school choice but we have to win governorships and super majorities and legislators to make sure that this happens." Wichita Vice Mayor Councilman Dalton Glasscock Josh Jones

THOUSANDS of families across our state have yearned to choose a school that's the best fit for their child. Now that I signed school choice into law, Texas families have that option. As a result, Texas is on a pathway to be #1 in education.

Matt Walsh exposes the Civil Rights Act forced white students and black students to integrate schools for better education of black students without a single vote from voters After the integration, there was no change in test results for black students Both black students and white students education results stayed the same and the only thing that happened was an explosion of racial tensions, violence and anger This forged white families to flee areas “white flight” Children were put on busses and not allowed to go to schools near their homes because the government mandated the schools have a certain mix of black and white students

Thank you Fox & Friends First for having me on to highlight Florida’s nation-leading school choice programs. With Florida opting in to the federal tax credit scholarship, low-income students in our state will have even greater access to education opportunities that best meet their individual needs. Grateful for the leadership of Ron DeSantis for continuing to put students first and empowering parents.

A CBS News Investigation looks at the rise of taxpayer-funded charter schools offering a “classical” education. Touting a more traditional curriculum, the schools are often pitched as a conservative alternative to regular public schools. But they also tend to operate with less oversight. Parents in Fort Myers, Florida told us they were left scrambling when the Optima Classical Academy failed to open. Meanwhile, a CBS News review of tax filings between 2020 and 2023 shows other Optima-run schools spent millions on outside firms with ties to its CEO, Erika Donalds, a leading school choice advocate and wife of Congressman Byron Donalds. In a statement, Donalds’ spokesperson said she is “an accomplished businesswoman with a strong record of starting successful charter schools and providing thousands of students with an excellent education.”
