Anita Scott, director of Public Policy at the Texas Home School Coalition, said that while there are no local threats following the juvenile curfew bill's passage, the Texas Legislature's sessions always require vigilance, prompting her to relocate to Austin with a policy team to monitor hearings on parental rights and education. Scott was a guest on a recent episode of the Texas Talks Podcast.

“We do not have the rights federally," said Scott on a recent edition of the Texas Talks Podcast. “We do not have threats locally in the sense that there are no threats from municipalities or cities after we passed this juvenile curfew bill, which abolished the juvenile curfew. The state government and this is what our president, Tim Lambert, always says, when the Texas Legislature goes into session, there's always a reason to be concerned.”

“There's always a reason to be cautious," said Scott. “And that's one of the reasons we exist, honestly. Brad, because every time the Texas Legislature goes into session, as the policy director, I relocate and move back to Austin so I can be boots on the ground, attending any hearing that has to do with parental rights or education. And I don't go there by myself, I go with a policy team, and we read and analyze.”

Scott is the director of Public Policy at the Texas Home School Coalition (THSC). In her role, she and THSC members are dedicated to preserving the rights of Texas families to independently raise and educate their children.
