Dan Miller advocates for returning control of education to local communities and removing federal and state mandates on curriculum. He describes the current system as a hierarchy of indoctrination where the federal government dictates terms to the state, which then controls local districts. Miller proposes that while the state should ensure funding, local parents and neighbors should decide what children learn.

Steve Lane provides a legal breakdown of the ASAP program, citing Section 25.091 of the Texas Education Code. He argues that school attendance officers are prohibited from entering private residences without permission unless serving lawful process. Lane contends that Travis County constables are violating state law and property rights by conducting home visits without warrants or summons.
