Defending our children in a hostile world: the establishment of a non-political and family focused elementary school core curriculum that consists primarily of science, reading, writing, and arithmetic. We should withhold elementary aged children from exposure to social studies, world history, humanities, and any other political or progressive filled agenda until after their moral, cultural, and value systems, have been established through influence of their family unit and not the government.
State Sovereignty
Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States should a future president and congress change our political system from a constitutional republic to any other system.
Rights of Sovereign People
The Republican Party of Texas supports the historic concept,
established by our nation’s founders, of limited civil government jurisdiction under the natural laws of God, and we oppose the concept that the state is sovereign over the affairs of men, the family, and the church. We believe that government properly exists by the consent of the governed and must be restrained from intruding into the freedoms of its citizens. The function of government is not to grant rights, but to protect the unalienable, God-given rights of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of
happiness of all, including the unborn.
Gun Carry and Possession Restrictions -
REAL Constitutional Carry
We oppose any measure that would deprive someone of
their right to possess firearms without being convicted of a crime or found mentally incompetent by a medical psychiatric professional, or that would cause gun owners to be investigated by law
enforcement or appear before a judge when there is no reasonable cause of a crime committed. This includes state legislation such as red flag laws, social media monitoring that targets gun owners, expanded background checks, mandates on personal firearms storage, and government-mandated location restrictions such as
those in K-12 schools and 51% establishments, and Federal law such as PTSD-related restrictions and the National Firearms Act.
Education and a Parents' Bill of Rights
We believe that all children should have access to quality education. Under the US Constitution, the power to regulate education is reserved exclusively to the States and to the people. Parents have the primary right and responsibility to educate their children. The classroom should be a place where all viewpoints are welcomed, free speech is celebrated, and “person before politics” beliefs are preached. We support the right of parents to freely choose public, charter, private, parochial, or homeschooling for their children. We support the right of parents to choose the specific public school that their children attend. No child should be forced to attend a failing school. We reject the imposition of federal education standards and the tying of any government funding to the adoption of federal education standards. We rejected the intrusion of government in private, parochial, or homeschools. We affirm that the policies, procedures, activities, and finances of public education in Texas at all levels should be fully transparent. To ensure transparency, the check register of all traditional school districts and charter schools should be posted online with the link on the home page. We respect parental authority regarding sex education. We believe that abortion providers and affiliates should be prohibited from providing any curriculum or instruction in schools.
Healthcare Choice
No government bureaucrat or insurance company should be allowed to interfere with citizens’ freedom to choose their type of medical care. We demand the US Congress to repeal the ACA and pass healthcare reform that results in more affordable healthcare through a market-based, competitive, and transparent healthcare system, including but not limited to:
a. Tort reform.
b. Interstate competition.
c. Health savings accounts.
d. Genuine accountability.
e. Oversight.
f. Portability and extended COBRA availability.
g. Selection of coverage (rather than paying for coverage not needed or not wanted).
h. Price transparency of all medical procedures and drugs.
i. Medical expense sharing organizations.
