Parental Rights, Legislative Battles, and Why the Fight for Freedom Never Stops | Tim Lambert

Every time the Texas legislature meets, our freedom is on the line. That's not a talking point — it's the reality Tim Lambert has been living for over 30 years.This week, I'm sitting down with Tim Lambert, founder of the Texas Home School Coalition, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually takes to protect parental rights in Texas — session after session, bill after bill.We get into the ESA program and what the demand is really telling us about what parents want. We talk about dual credit access for homeschool students, why some universities are still pushing back, and how opening up career and technical education could transform outcomes for kids who are ready to build real skills before they ever graduate. We also tackle the lie we've been telling an entire generation — that college is the only path forward — and what it looks like to finally start correcting that.But the through line in all of it is this: passing a bill doesn't mean the work is done. Legislation has to be implemented, protected, and defended. And families need someone in their corner who understands every bill moving through the Capitol and what it means for their kids.That's exactly what the Texas Homeschool Coalition does — and Tim has been leading that charge longer than most people have been paying attention.If you care about where education in Texas is headed, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.Listen, share, and stay in the fight.About The Ashley B.
