ESA Program Sued in SC Supreme Court
Every single legislator knew this was going to happen
Isn’t it amazing … let us assure you that every single legislator, every single SC School Choice “advocate”, and every monied special interest lobbyist knew this was going to happen. They care more about the “political games” … and their MONEY … than helping K-12 kids get the education they deserve. THIS is why we got involved in this political mess!!!

Our SC kids deserve better!!!
PACE / ACE (S 285) SCHOLARSHIP BILL IS THE “ONLY” SOLUTION: They all also know that the PACE / ACE (S 285) Scholarship Bill filed by SC Senator Tom Davis (R – Beaufort) and that has already passed the SC Senate and is sitting in the SC House Ways & Means Committee is 1,000% legally bulletproof … can not be shut down … and they still chose to go the ESA route because that is where the money is to line their pockets.
Read The State Newspaper article HERE or below for more details.
“State Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, for one, has expressed doubts about [the ESAs] ability to withstand a legal challenge.”
The State Newspaper (10/26/2023)
What does all this mean for us … the parents, kids, and schools? Well, we do not know the exact timeline as of yet that this court case will take, expect it to drag on for several months, but we are sure the folks that brought this lawsuit have a plan and their timing will prevail.
But we do know … AS IT SHOULD … this lawsuit will put the pressure back on the SC House of Representatives to PASS the PACE / ACE Scholarship Bill (#1) as soon as possible and (#2) as-is, with no changes!!! That is of course “if” they want to help children.
CALL TO ACTION: Call your SC House Rep (HERE), let them know about the lawsuit and insist that they pass S 285 immediately with no changes (HERE) … and ask them to PUT KIDS FIRST!!! It is the only solution.
Stay tuned as we get more details in the coming weeks … but to us (and the five SC Supreme Court Justices that found this scheme unconstitutional 3 years ago), the SC Constitution is VERY CLEAR.
“No money shall be paid from public funds … for the direct benefit of any religious or other private educational institution.”
Article XI, Section 4, SC Constitution
The PACE / ACE (S 285) Scholarship Bill is NOT Public Funds per the US Supreme Cou0rt.

The opposition hates it so much … and we temporarily had to move it to a local DENNY’S restaurant … because they actually filed a ZONING / Business Use violation as we were not authorized to have public meetings inside our HQ (outside is OK) as we are just formally permitted as a “business office” AND a PODCAST STUDIO!!! Yes, we are formally permitted at our HQ as a PodCast Studio … so guess what we can do!!!
We are now LIVESTREAMING the meeting not just for our local Greenville Friends … but also statewide (and worldwide as we have had members watch from Europe & even from a transatlantic cruise).

Jeff is also “barred” from attending the SCGOP State Executive Committee Meetings (HERE). Why? Because he dared to run against Drew McKissick for SCGOP Chairman – coming in 2nd with Drew only being reelected by 1.8% (HERE & HERE) – and in September 2021 he told the State Executive Committee that Chad Connelly had been under SLED investigation for a year and a half … and it was true (HERE & HERE).
