The conservative group Club for Growth began running ads on January 12, 2026, urging Mississippi lawmakers to pass House Bill 2, the “Mississippi Education Freedom Act,” a wide-ranging education proposal introduced January 7 by House Speaker Jason White and Rep.

Texas officials have moved to exclude schools connected to the Chinese Communist Party or groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations from a new statewide school choice initiative.
